Yeah!
Come on, come on, come on, come on
Now touch me, baby
Can't you see that I am not afraid?
What was that promise that you made?
Why won't you tell me what she said?
What was that promise that you made?
Now, I'm gonna love you
Till the heavens stop the rain
I'm gonna love you
Till the stars fall from the sky for you and I
Come on, come on, come on, come on
Now touch me, baby
Can't you see that I am not afraid?
What was that promise that you made?
Why won't you tell me what she said?
What was that promise that you made?
I'm gonna love you
Till the heavens stop the rain
I'm gonna love you
Till the stars fall from the sky for you and I
I'm gonna love you
Till the heavens stop the rain
I'm gonna love you
Till the stars fall from the sky for you and I
Come on, come on, come on, come on
Now touch me, baby
Can't you see that I am not afraid?
What was that promise that you made?
Why won't you tell me what she said?
What was that promise that you made?
Now, I'm gonna love you
Till the heavens stop the rain
I'm gonna love you
Till the stars fall from the sky for you and I
Come on, come on, come on, come on
Now touch me, baby
Can't you see that I am not afraid?
What was that promise that you made?
Why won't you tell me what she said?
What was that promise that you made?
I'm gonna love you
Till the heavens stop the rain
I'm gonna love you
Till the stars fall from the sky for you and I
I'm gonna love you
Till the heavens stop the rain
I'm gonna love you
Till the stars fall from the sky for you and I

"Stronger than Dirt!" But it works for a love song, too, I guess.
Now this song I actually really enjoy because Jim really shows his talent as a singer throughout. The tune really suits him and the effect is mesmerising.
I agree with most people in saying that this song is a "sarcastic love song", though sarcasm may seem like it detracts meaning and makes it an anti-love song I believe the opposite. It's a love song regardless, the feelings are there but I feel as though there is a little exasperation evident. My interpretation is also based on the original lyric of "hit me"
Yeah! --- This was rather enthusiastic in a somehwat sarcastic manner, v. good attention grabber.
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon now --- sounds a bit like a plea
Touch me (Hit me), babe. ---- sounds like an address to a pissed off "Babe"
Can't you see that I am not afraid. --- not afraid to be hurt because it's deserved, or quite possible the opposite in that he's not afraid of her, she can get as angry as she wants but it won't change him
What was that promise that you made.
Why won't you tell me what she said.--- changing to third person here confuses me as "Babe" is referred to in all lines in 2nd person, so assume "she" and "Babe" are different girls. I think "she" is an outsider who may have been indulged in an affair to either a minor or major extent (due to the nature of the song my guess would be minor, such as a sleazy pass or drunken hook up etc) with the writer of the song (whoever you agree that was), or possibly have heard things and told "babe" about them. So now Babe has the sh*ts and he doesn't know why, but he doesnt seem to really mind.
What was that promise that you made. --- i dont have a solid interpretation of this like but I can imagine though, that Babe has made a threat (promise) and this is a sarcastic response to it.
Then he moves on from the petty threat and starts grovelling/ saying what "Babe" wants to hear because he's sick of her being all pissy and probably just wants to get to the make up sex already (suck me babe, cant you see i want head or whatever it was in the movie, works here too. He doesn't want to fight, he just wants to get it on. Maybe if Babe got it on a bit more she wouldnt be pissed at him.)
Now I'm gonna love you
Till the heavens stop the rain.
I'm gonna love you
Till the stars fall from the sky
For you and I.
----for the chorus i see it as both sarcastic grovelling, or just saying what she wants to hear so he can be forgiven and they can start lovin', but also at the same time i think he's referring to the sex theyre going to have when she hits him and forgives him. He's going to do it all night (at least while he can) and its going to be really intense. They'll both enjoy it, so why doesn't Babe just hit him and get over what "she" said, I mean, Jim Morrison is singing to ya, if he told me to touch him by GOD i would.
Thats my interpretation, and i do love trying to interpret the doors songs. Jim was fantastic, his star burned out early but burned brighter than any other.

lol, let's look at it like this:
guy: C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon now
Touch me, babe.
Can't you see that I am not afraid.
What was that promise that you made?
Girl: why won't you tell me what she said?
Guy: what was that promise that you made?
Girl: Now I'm gonna love you
Till the heavens stop the rain.
I'm gonna love you
Till the stars fall from the sky
For you and I.
He's just wants some lovin'
