KIDZ BOP Kids Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You hit me with a call to your place
Ain't been out in a while anyway
Was hopin' I could catch you with
A smile like my face
With all that talkin'? You don't
Even have to try
You're cool enough to hang with me tonight
I see the reason why
Baby, you livin' the life, but yeah
You gotta live it right
Singin' and dancin' with your friends
You live in the dark, yeah, I cannot pretend
I'm not fazed, only here to win
If you ain't in the garden
You know that you can
Call me when you want, call me when you need
Call me in the morning, I'll be on the way
Call me when you want, call me when you need
Call me out by your name
I'll be on the way like
Mmm, mmm, mmm mmm, mmm, mmm
I wanna sell what you're buyin'
I wanna lie on the beach in Hawaii
I want that jet lag from livin' and flyin'
Put a smile on your
Face whilst we're dinin' oh, oh, why me?
A sign of the times every time that I speak
A song and it rhymed, it was mine every week
What a time, an incline
God was shinin' on me now I can't leave
And now I'm actin' super elite
Never want the people that's in my league
I only want the ones I envy, I envy
Singin' and dancin' with your friends
You live in the dark, yeah, I cannot pretend
I'm not fazed, only here to win
If you ain't in the garden
You know that you can
Call me when you want, call me when you need
Call me in the morning, I'll be on the way
Call me when you want, call me when you need
Call me out by your name
I'll be on the way like
Mmm, mmm, mmm mmm, mmm, mmm
Call me when you want, call me when you need
Call me in the morning, I'll be on the way
Call me when you want, call me when you need
Call me out by your name
I'll be on the way like
Call me by your name (Mmm, mmm, mmm)
Tell me you love me in private
Call me by your name (Mmm, mmm, mmm)
I do not care if you lyin'
The lyrics of KIDZ BOP Kids' song Montero talk about a guy who is trying to woo a girl. He wants her to call him whenever she wants him, and he'll be there for her. She seems to live a lavish and carefree life, living it her way, but the guy wants to be a part of that too. He's not intimidated by her fame and wants her to know that he's here to win her heart. The references to lying on a beach in Hawaii, experiencing jet lag, and dining while putting on a smile on their faces are all examples of a hedonistic lifestyle.
The song talks about how the guy is completely smitten by this girl and will go to any lengths to be with her. The girl, on the other hand, is living her life with her friends in the "dark." The guy is not bothered by it, and he's determined to win her over. The song also touches on the theme of envy, where the guy says he only wants the people he envies. In the end, the guy just wants the girl to "call him by her name," and he doesn't care if she's lying to him.
Overall, the song is about a guy who is trying to win over a girl, and he's willing to put in the effort to make it happen.

Vocalization with no specific meaning
I wanna sell what you're buyin'
I want to be a part of your lifestyle
I wanna lie on the beach in Hawaii

I want that jet lag from livin' and flyin'
I want to experience the excitement of traveling and living life to the fullest
Put a smile on your face whilst we're dinin', oh, oh, why me?
I want us both to be happy while we're eating. Why am I so lucky?
A sign of the times every time that I speak
I represent the current culture and trends in my speech
A song and it rhymed, it was mine every week
I wrote a new song every week that had a good flow
What a time, an incline
I'm having a great time, things are improving
God was shinin' on me now I can't leave
I feel blessed and can't let go of this feeling
And now I'm actin' super elite
I'm now acting like I'm above others
Never want the people that's in my league
I don't want to be with people who are at my level
I only want the ones I envy, I envy
I only want to be around people who have what I want
Call me by your name (Mmm, mmm, mmm)
Call me whatever you want
Tell me you love me in private
I want you to express your love for me in a personal setting
I do not care if you lyin'
It doesn't matter if you're lying or not
