"C'mon and Love Me" is a single by rock band Kiss from their 3rd album Dressed to Kill. Written by Paul Stanley, a live version exists on Alive!. Paul was inspired by a Moody Blues song, "Question" when writing the song which had been done under an hour. "C'mon and Love Me" failed to chart.By their third album, the members of Kiss had perfected a blend of pop hooks and hard rock riffing that would soon make them superstars. As a result, Dressed to Kill is full of tight little rockers that are as catchy as they are powerful, and a great example of this balancing act is "C'Mon and Love Me." The lyrics are a playful narrative portraying a Don Juan who takes the unique tack of offering himself up to his romantic prey: "Baby, baby don't you hesitate/'Cause I just can't wait/Lady, won't you take me down to my knees/You can do what you please/C'mon and love me."
