KIDZ BOP Kids Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And your sister and your job
And that broke-down car
And the things you call art
Forget you and your friends
That I'll never see again
Everybody but your dog
You can all get lost
I swear I meant to mean the best when it ended
Even tried to bite my tongue when you start, mmh
Now you're textin' all my friends askin' questions
They never even liked you in the first place
Dated a girl that I know for the attention
She only made it two days, what a connection
It's like you'd do anythin' for my affection
You're goin' all about it in the worst ways
I was into you
But I'm over it now
And I was tryna be nice
But nothing's gettin' through
So let me spell it out
A-B-C-D-E forget you
And your mom and your sister and your job
And that broke-down car
And the things you call art
Forget you and your friends
That I'll never see again
Everybody but your dog
You can all get lost
Na-na-na-na, na, na, na-na
A-B-C-D-E forget you
You said you just needed space and so I gave it
When I had nothin' to say, you couldn't take it
Told everyone I'm a-, so I became it
Always had to put yourself above me
I was into you
But I'm over it now
And I was tryna be nice
But nothing's getting through
So let me spell it out
A-B-C-D-E forget you
And your mom and your sister and your job
And that Craigslist couch
And the way your voice sounds
Forget you and your friends
That I'll never see again
Everybody but your dog
You can all get lost
Na-na-na-na, na, na, na-na
A-B-C-D-E forget you (get lost)
Na-na-na-na, na, na, na-na
A-B-C-D-E forget you
And your mom and your sister and your job
And that Craigslist couch
And the way your voice sounds
Forget you and your friends
That I'll never see again
Everybody but your dog
You can all get lost
