Knocks You Down
KIDZ BOP Kids Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Keep rockin' and keep knockin'
Whether you Louis Vuitton it up or Reebokin'
You see the thing that they're
Servin' on a platter
So what we gon' have, dessert or disaster?
I never thought I'd fall for you
As hard as I did
You got me thinkin' 'bout our life
Our house and kids
Every mornin' I look at you and smile
'Cause boy you came around
And you knocked me down knocked me down
Sometimes love comes around
And it knocks you down just get back up
When it knocks you down knocks you down
Sometimes love comes around
And it knocks you down just get back up
When it knocks you down knocks you down
I never thought I'd hear myself say
You all go ahead, I think I'm gonna
Kick it with my girl today
I used to be Commander-in-Chief
Of my own ship flyin' high
'Til I met this pretty little missile
That shot me out the sky
And till now I'm crashing
Don't know how it happened
But I know it feels so, so good
Said if I could go back
Make it happen faster
Don't you know I would, baby, if I could?
Sometimes love comes around
And it knocks you down just get back up
When it knocks you down knocks you down
Sometimes love comes around
And it knocks you down just get back up
When it knocks you down knocks you down
Tell me now can you make
It past your Caspers?
So we can finally fly off into NASA
You was always the cheerleader of my dreams
That seemed to only date the
Head of football teams
And I was the class clown
That always kept you laughin'
We were never meant to be, baby
We just happened
They say I move too quick but we
Can't let this moment pass us
Let the hourglass pass right into ashes
Let the wind blow the ash
Right before my glasses
So I wrote this love letter
Right before my classes i'll admit it
I was scared to answer love's call
And if it hit's
Better make it worth the fall
When it comes around
Sometimes love comes around
And it knocks you down just get back up
When it knocks you down knocks you down
Sometimes love comes around




And it knocks you down just get back up
When it knocks you down knocks you down
