KIDZ BOP Kids Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
See you walking 'round like it's a funeral
Not so serious, yeah, why those feet cold?
We just getting started, don't you tiptoe, tiptoe, ah
Waste time with a masterpiece, don't waste time with a masterpiece
You should be rolling with me, you should be rolling with me, ah
It's a life that's meant to be, it's a life that's meant to be
Talk to me, baby
I'm going after this sweet-sweet craving, whoa-oh
Let's lose our minds and go crazy crazy
Ya-ya-ya-ya-ya I keep on hoping we'll eat cake by the ocean
Walk with me, baby
I'll be Didd and you'll be Naomi, whoa-oh
Let's lose our minds and go crazy crazy
Ya-ya-ya-ya-ya I keep on hoping we'll eat cake by the ocean
Oh yeah, now we're licking frosting from your own hands
Want another taste, I'm saying, oh yeah
I'm tired of all this candy on the dry land, dry land, oh
Waste time with a masterpiece, don't waste time with a masterpiece
You should be rolling with me, you should be rolling with me, ah
It's a life that's meant to be, it's a life that's meant to be
But you're moving so carefully, you're not living dangerously
Talk to me, baby
I'm going after this sweet-sweet craving, whoa-oh
Let's lose our minds and go crazy crazy
Ya-ya-ya-ya-ya I keep on hoping we'll eat cake by the ocean
Walk with me, baby
I'll be Didd and you'll be Naomi, whoa-oh
Let's lose our minds and go crazy crazy
Ya-ya-ya-ya-ya I keep on hoping we'll eat cake by the ocean
Ya-ya-ya-ya-ya keep on hoping we'll eat cake by the ocean (ooh, aah)
Talk to me, girl, talk to me, baby
Talk to me, baby
I'm going after this sweet-sweet craving, whoa-oh
Let's lose our minds and go crazy crazy
Ya-ya-ya-ya-ya I keep on hoping we'll eat cake by the ocean
Walk with me, baby (walk with me now)
I'll be Didd and you'll be Naomi, whoa-oh
Let's lose our minds and go crazy crazy (that's right)
Ya-ya-ya-ya-ya I keep on hoping we'll eat cake by the ocean
Red velvet, vanilla, chocolate in my life
Confetti, I'm ready, I need it all time
Red velvet, vanilla, chocolate in my life (ya-ya-ya-ya-ya I keep on hoping we'll eat cake by the ocean)
