KIDZ BOP Kids Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I got my memories for the way
And I sure would like some sweet company
And I'm leaving tomorrow what do you say
When I'm gone
When I'm gone
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
You're gonna miss me everywhere, oh
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
When I'm gone
When I'm gone
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
You're gonna miss me by my walk
You're gonna miss me talk, oh
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
I got my ticket for the long way round
The one with the prettiest of views
It's got mountains
It's got rivers
It's got sights to give you shivers
But it sure would be prettier with you
When I'm gone
When I'm gone
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
You're gonna miss me by my walk
You're gonna miss me by my talk, oh
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
When I'm gone
When I'm gone
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
You're gonna miss me by my hair
You're gonna miss me everywhere, oh
Oh you're sure gonna miss me when I'm gone
When I'm gone
When I'm gone
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
You're gonna miss me by my walk
You're gonna miss me by my talk, oh
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
The lyrics of KIDZ BOP Kids’s song Cups talk about leaving for a journey alone but wishing for a company. The singer describes having the ticket for the long way round, and holding onto memories for the journey. They express a desire for sweet company on this trip, and are asking if someone wants to come along. However, the singer is leaving tomorrow, and the person they are asking must make a quick decision. The chorus then repeats the phrase ‘When I’m gone’ several times, and the singer notes that the person they are asking will miss them when they’re gone. They mention that their hair, walk, and talk will be missed, and that the person will miss them everywhere.
The lyrics reflect the singer’s sense of loneliness and desire for companionship. The journey that they are describing seems long and lonely, with only memories for company. They are reaching out to someone for support, even if it is just for a short time. Despite the sadness inherent in the lyrics, the tone of the song is upbeat, with the clapping rhythm and the use of a pitch to create a sense of joy.
Overall, ‘Cups’ is a song about the longing for connection and the sense of loneliness that can come with travel. It is a song that is both introspective and uplifting, encouraging listeners to reach out to others and find companionship on their journeys.
