(Ho) I been trying to do it right
(Hey) I been living a lonely life
(Ho) I been sleepin' here instead
(Hey) I been sleepin' in my bed
(Ho) I been sleepin' in my bed (hey ho)
(Hey) All the blood that I will bleed
(Ho) I don't know where I belong
(Hey) I don't know where I went wrong
(Ho) But I can write a song (hey)
I belong with you, you belong with me, you're my sweetheart
I belong with you, you belong with me, you're my sweet' (ho)
(Hey, ho hey)
(Ho) I don't think you're right for him
(Hey) Think of what it might have been if we
(Ho) Took a bus to Chinatown
(Hey) I'd be standin' on canal (ho) and Bowery (hey)
(Ho) She'd be standin' next to me (hey)
I belong with you, you belong with me, you're my sweetheart
I belong with you, you belong with me, you're my sweetheart
Love we, need it now
Let's hope, for some
'Cause oh, we're bleedin' out
I belong with you, you belong with me, you're my sweetheart
I belong with you, you belong with me, you're my sweet' (ho hey, ho hey)
The lyrics to Kidz Bop Kids' song "Ho Hey" tell a story of searching for belonging, love, and companionship. The singer begins by acknowledging their efforts to "do it right" but still feeling lonely and isolated. They long for family and for someone to share their life with, but they don't know where they belong or what they've done wrong. Nevertheless, they find solace in writing songs and expressing themselves through music.
The chorus, "I belong with you, you belong with me, you're my sweetheart," is a declaration of love and a recognition of a special connection with another person. The singer is saying that they are meant to be together and that they can find happiness and fulfillment in each other. The verses continue with a sense of doubt and uncertainty, with the singer wondering if the person they love is really right for them and imagining what might have been if things were different. The final lines, "Love we, need it now / Let's hope, for some / 'Cause oh, we're bleedin' out," convey a sense of urgency and desperation, emphasizing the importance of love and connection in our lives.
Overall, "Ho Hey" is a catchy, upbeat song that explores universal themes of loneliness, love, and belonging. It encourages listeners to value the people in their lives and to seek out meaningful relationships, while also recognizing the challenges and uncertainties of love and life.
