KIDZ BOP Kids Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To crash the critic saying is it right or is it wrong
If only fame had its own key baby could I bear
Being away from you I found a way to get you here
I live for the applause applause applause
I live for the applause-plause live for the applause-plause, live for the
Way you that you cheer and scream for me
Give me the thing that I love (I'll turn the lights on)
Put your hands up make 'em touch, touch (make it real loud)
Give me the thing that I love, love (I'll turn the lights on)
Put your hands up make 'em touch, touch (make it real loud)

Stand here waiting for you to bang the gong
I am anxiously waiting for you to signal the start of the performance
To crash the critic saying is it right or is it wrong
I want to silence the critics who question the validity of my art
If only fame had its own key baby could I bear
Fame is burdensome without the support of my loved ones
Being away from you I found a way to get you here
Despite physical distance, I found a way to feel connected to you
I live for the applause applause applause
The recognition and validation from my audience is what drives me
I live for the applause-plause live for the applause-plause, live for the

Put your hands up make 'em touch, touch (make it real loud)
Participate and express your excitement, let's make some noise
A-P-P-L-A-U-S-E (make it real loud)
Spell out your approval and let it be heard
I've over heard your theory nostalgia's for geeks
I've heard your opinion that being nostalgic is uncool
I guess sir if you say so some of us just like to read
I respect your view, but some of us enjoy revisiting fond memories
One second I'm a star then suddenly the star is me
In an instant, I can go from feeling like just another person to the center of attention
Pop culture was an art now arts a pop culture in me
What was once considered trivial has become a part of the art that I create
Ooh) touch touch (ooh)
Let's interact through touch and physical engagement
Touch touch now
Let's make an emotional connection through touch
A-R-T-P-O-P
Art and pop culture are merging to create something new and innovative
