Rude
KIDZ BOP Kids Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And put on my best suit
Got on my bike and raced like a jet
All the way to you
Knocked on your door with heart in my hand
To ask you a question
'Cause I know that you're an old-fashioned man, yeah yeah
Say yes, say yes 'cause I need to know
You say I'll never get your blessing till the day I fly
Tough luck, my friend but the answer is no
Why you gotta be so rude?
Don't you know I'm human too?
Why you gotta be so rude?
I'm gonna marry her anyway
Marry that girl
Marry her anyway
Marry that girl
Yeah, no matter what you say
Marry that girl
And we'll be a family
Why you gotta be so rude?
I hate to do this, you leave no choice
Can't live without her
Love me or hate me, we will be boys
Standing at the altar
Or we will fly away
To another galaxy, you know
You know she's in love with me
She will go anywhere I go
Can I have your daughter for the rest of my life?
Say yes, say yes 'cause I need to know
You say I'll never get your blessing till the day I fly
Tough luck my friend 'cause the answer's still no!
Why you gotta be so rude?
Don't you know I'm human too?
Why you gotta be so rude?
I'm gonna marry her anyway
Marry that girl
Marry her anyway
Marry that girl
Yeah, no matter what you say
Marry that girl
And we'll be a family
Why you gotta be so rude?
Rude
Can I have your daughter for the rest of my life?
Say yes, say yes 'cause I need to know
You say I'll never get your blessing till the day I fly
Tough luck my friend but no still means no!
Why you gotta be so rude?
Don't you know I'm human too?
Why you gotta be so rude?
I'm gonna marry her anyway
Marry that girl
Marry her anyway
Marry that girl
Yeah, no matter what you say
Marry that girl
And we'll be a family
Why you gotta be so rude?
Why you gotta be so rude?
The song "Rude" by KIDZ BOP Kids is about a young man who asks for the father's permission to marry his daughter. The singer gets dressed in his best suit and races to her house on his bike with the intention of asking her father's permission. He finds the father to be old-fashioned, and despite the singer asking nicely, the father rejects his proposal, saying he won't give his blessing before the singer flies. The singer is disappointed but decides to marry the girl anyway, no matter what the father says.
The song is a commentary on traditional values and the clash between generations. The father's old-fashioned views represent the older generation's opinions, whereas the singer's decision to marry the girl anyway is a reflection of the younger generation's attitude towards tradition. It also highlights the frustration that often arises in intergenerational relationships, where older people may not be able to understand or accept modern values.
The chorus "Why you gotta be so rude? Don't you know I'm human too?" expresses the singer's frustration with being rejected, even after asking politely. The line "I'm gonna marry her anyway" represents the younger generation's desire to assert their own beliefs and make their own decisions, regardless of traditional obstacles.
