I Don't Wanna Be In Love
KIDZ BOP Kids Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

She's goin' out to forget they were together
All that time he was takin' her for granted
She wants to see if there's more
Than he gave, she's lookin' for

He calls her up, he's trippin' on the phone now
He doesn't want her out there and alone now
He knows she's movin' it, knows she's usin' it
Now he's losin' it, she don't care

Everybody put up your hands
Say I don't wanna be in love, I don't wanna be in love
Feel the beat now if you got nothing left
Say I don't wanna be in love, I don't wanna be in love

Back it up now, you got a reason to live
Say I don't wanna be in love, I don't wanna be in love
Feelin' good now, don't be afraid to get down
Say I don't wanna be in love, I don't wanna be in love

He was always givin' her attention
Lookin' hard to find the things she'd mention
He was dedicated, by most suckers hated
The girl was fine but she didn't appreciate him

She calls him up, she's trippin' on the phone now
He had to get up and he ain't comin' home now
He's tryin' to forget her, that's how we come with her
When he first met her, when they first got together

Everybody put up your hands
Say I don't wanna be in love, I don't wanna be in love
Feel the beat now, if you got nothing left
Say I don't wanna be in love, I don't wanna be in love

Back it up now, you got a reason to live
Say I don't wanna be in love, I don't wanna be in love
Feelin' good now, don't be afraid to get down
Say I don't wanna be in love, I don't wanna be in love

To the beat, to the beat, yeah
To the beat, to the beat, yeah
To the beat, to the beat, yeah
You've got nothin' to lose, don't be afraid to get down

We break up, it's something that we do now
Everyone has got to do it sometime
It's okay, let it go
Get out there and find someone

It's too late to be trippin' on the phone here
Get off the wire, know everything is good here
Stop what you're doin', you don't wanna ruin
The chance that you got to find a new one

Everybody put up your hands
Say I don't wanna be in love, I don't wanna be in love
Feel the beat now, if you got nothing left
Say I don't wanna be in love, I don't wanna be in love

Back it up now, you got a reason to live
Say I don't wanna be in love, I don't wanna be in love
Feelin' good now, don't be afraid to get down
Say I don't wanna be in love, I don't wanna be in love

No, no




Now you know what to do
So come on feeling good

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Kidz Bop's "I Don't Want To Be In Love" tell the story of a couple who have broken up and are in the process of moving on. The girl is going out to try and forget that they were ever together, as she feels he took her for granted and wants to see if there is more out there for her. The boy, on the other hand, is still hung up on her and doesn't want her out alone, knowing that she is moving on and using the space to get over him.


This leads to some back and forth on the phone, with both parties calling each other and getting upset. The girl is tripping on the phone, while the boy is losing it, knowing that things are coming to an end. However, in the end, they both agree that it's okay to move on and find someone new.
