The song sung by a villain who is attempting to seduce another character. Hence, this trope is closely related to Seduction Lyric — but a Seduction Lyric isn't always put in the mouth of a villain, or even sung, and not all Villain Love Songs are clear attempts at immediate sexual seduction.
A Villain Love Song is generally not a full-blown Villain Song — hey, the villain's trying to impress someone, and blatantly reveling in puppy-punting has a knack for driving away potential love interests (but then again, they may have trouble understanding that). Villains in love with other villains go under Unholy Matrimony.
Contrast Final Love Duet. Often overlaps with Obsession Song, but not always.

Conversely Ice Queen manages to do that disguised as Prince Gumball in Adventure Time episode "Adventure Time with Fionna and Cake".
Ice King practices singing to Princess Bubblegum in "I Remember You". The song starts out kind of sweet about how he likes her the best of all the princesses, quickly starts sounding a little creepy, but becomes heart-wrenching near the end, when Ice King admits that he has become desperate for somebody, anybody, to keep him from feeling lonely or at least help him understand why nobody likes him.
The trend continues in Adventure Time: Fionna and Cake where Candy Queen gets the equally creepy "Baked with Love".

Thrill Me has "There's Nothing Like a Fire", which is Richard singing about how sexually exciting Richard finds arson. Nathan doesn't need much convincing. There are also several other songs that fall under this trope—"A Written Contract" is Richard convincing Nathan to continue being his accomplice by offering a contract that would require Richard to have sex with him; "Supeior" is Richard bragging about their crimes to get Nathan into bed; and "Keep Your Deal with Me" culminates in Richard making out with Nathan to stop Nathan turning them in. Additionally, "Roadster" isn't this, since Richard has no interest in the boy he's singing to, but Richard is using his charms to convince the boy it's safe to take a ride with him, so it's written—and occasionally performed—in approximately this style.

While the heroine seemed to be unable to hear either song "My Freeze Ray" and parts of "Brand New Day" from Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog fit this.
It's not just that the heroine isn't moved... it's that she doesn't even know.
Crosses into Stalker with a Crush territory in "My Eyes"
Considering Dr. Horrible's Perspective Flipped outlook, Captain Hammer's part of "A Man's Gotta Do" might also fit this.

The title song from GoldenEye qualifies (despite having nothing to do with the actual motives of the film's villain) as does the one from The World Is Not Enough. The latter, however, is only apparent after the film's major reveal.

Herbert's part in "Wenn Liebe in dir ist" from Tanz Der Vampire can be seen as one of these, in his own special way. (This largely depends on the ratio of woobieness to pervertedness he's played with.) More straightforwardly, there's practically all of Graf von Krolock's musical interaction with Sarah.
And considering what happens to Sarah, her Final Love Duet with Alfred may qualify as this on her side too. (The fact that Sarah likes all of her interaction with Krolock, and is not particularly nice to begin with in her own right, makes all of her singing a bit morally ambiguous as well...)
Magda (victim who decides she likes a debatable villain) and Chagal's (said debatable villain) song in their shared coffin may also count.
Can we safely decide that Tanz likes its villainous love songs? And its villains.
It says a lot about the show that the audience typically thinks of the Hunter as a douchebag by the end of it, and not only as a result of Misaimed Fandom. You're supposed to like the vampires.

"Hellfire" from the Disney adaption of The Hunchback of Notre Dame is a strange Villain Love Song that is also a Villain Song, an "I Want" Song, and an Obsession Song - with a bit of Sanity Slippage Song for good measure. It's that awesome.

While it could be said that anytime Frank-N-Furter is singing in The Rocky Horror Picture Show he's seducing someone, the show has an interesting subversion in "Touch-a Touch-a Touch-a Touch Me" where Janet sings a song about how the bad doctor seduced her, and how it changed her — to the point that she's now seducing Rocky.

"Our Love Is God" and "Meant to Be Yours", from Heathers. The former starts very softly, like a very sweet love song, but slowly gets more ominous as JD actually kills Kurt and Ram, to Veronica's horror. In the latter you have JD begging Veronica not to fight with him anymore and telling her that they're meant to be together, while simultaneously threatening to kill her for leaving him and detailing his plan to blow up their high school.

"Die Schatten werden länger (Reprise)" from Elisabeth is Death and Rudolf's seduction duet. Death also sings "Der letzte Tanz" to gloat to Elisabeth that she loves him despite marrying Franz Joseph, as well as dueting "Wenn ich tanzen will" with Elisabeth to insist that she's playing straight into his hands because they are so alike.
From the Takarazuka Revue production, we have "Ai to Shi no Rondo" and its reprise, in which Death sings about, respectively, his Love at First Sight for Sisi, and his frustration at being unable to claim her affection. It made its way back into the German version as a duet between Death and Elisabeth, "Rondo - schwarzer Prinz".

"Love is an Open Door" from Frozen (2013) is an unusual variation, since Hans was never in love with Anna and was actually lying and manipulating her into believing that he was, meaning that it seems like a regular love song at first and then simultaneously becomes and subverts this trope in hindsight.

In Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, "A Little Priest" may fall under this, as it is a villain seducing the hero. The thing is, it's Sweeney who is being, er, "seduced" by Mrs. Lovett to go with her idea. "By the Sea" and her part of "My Friends" sit in this trope a bit more firmly (although see the Dr. Horrible example above.)
A probably better example would be Turpin's "Johanna", in which he's not directly singing to her (similar to the Dr. Horrible examples), but is expressing his extreme lust for her.

In The Scarlet Sails, there is "You Are Not Like Everyone Else" (Ты не такая, как все), where Menners Jr. confesses his love for Assol and tries to convince her to accept him at least as a Meal Ticket. The song is actually very touching, especially since Assol is a persona non grata, believed crazy in the village, and the mere fact that Menners loves her precisely for being different from the others says something about the man's sincerity. However, this happens right after he tells Assol that agreeing to marry him is the only way she can save her father from prison. Needless to say, in every production Assol reacts very coldly to his love confession, no matter how tenderly it's sung.

In a weird twist of Plant/Human Relations, "Feed Me" From Little Shop of Horrors qualifies as Audrey II seduces Seymour with images of money, power, and love.
And later, the plant does the same thing to Audrey. Right before it tries to eat her.

"Nos Corps à la Dérive" ("Our Drifting Bodies") from the French musical La Légende du Roi Arthur has Méléagant singing to the kidnapped and chained Guenièvre about how he loves and desires her - even going so far as to say her scorn doesn't bother him, because he loves that, too. Guenièvre repudiates his advances, after which he attempts to rape her, though he's interrupted by the arrival of Lancelot.

"You'll Be Back" from Hamilton is this on an international scale, with King George III trying to win back an estranged America's love... by sending legions of troops over to squash the revolution.

Evita has two. "I'd Be Surprisingly Good for You", in which Eva Duarte meets future husband and budding politician Juan Peron, and convinces him that they'd be perfect for each other. She's shamelessly manipulating him, as she does for their entire marriage - if he knows yet depends on the production. And then there's "Waltz for Eva and Che", which isn't quite a love song as much as Eva and Che manipulating and sniping at each other's perceived faults.

The Chalkeaters' "Bowsette" is partly sung from the perspective of the titular character, proclaiming that all her evil schemes are attempts to get Mario's affection, and that Princess Peach doesn't really care about him, but she does.

Dr. Blowhole from The Penguins of Madagascar manages to win the heart of a... mutated evil music player with a song by the name of '"Porpoise Power Ballad"'. Blowhole is voiced by Neil Patrick Harris so it's no surprise that one of his villainous voice roles would break out in song.

The third season premiere of The Lion Guard contains a unique example in that the song is the villain singing about the hero he feels is trying to seduce him to the side of good. "New Way To Go" is all about Janja trying to figure out his feelings for Jasiri, wrestling with how she's changed him and gotten inside his head, and resisting the urge to "say yes instead of no" to her. His expressions and body language throughout the Disney Acid Sequence demonstrate how badly he wants to get closer to her but keeps holding himself back, and the Jasiri in his fantasy looks and acts flirtatious to downright seductive as she tries (and fails) to get him to join her. He completes his Heel–Face Turn by the end of the episode.

Interview with the Vampire (2022): Daniel Hart's "Come to Me" was sung by Sam Reid, and it's Lestat de Lioncourt's love song for Louis de Pointe du Lac. In "Like Angels Put in Hell by God", Lestat had composed it as a Valentine's Day present and an Apology Gift for his boyfriend, whom he's trying to win back after brutally assaulting him.
