Youngblood
KIDZ BOP Kids Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Love me t'ill the day I fly
Surrender my everything
'Cause you made me believe you're mine
Yeah, you used to call me baby
Now you're calling me by name
Takes one to know one, yeah
You beat me at my own big game
You push and you push and i'm pulling away
Pulling away from you
I give and I give and I give and you take
Youngblood say you want me
Say you want me out of your life
But I'm just a sad man walking tonight
But you need it, yeah, you need it all of the time
Yeah, ooh, ooh, ooh
Youngblood say you want me
Say you want me back in your life
So I'm just a sad man crawling tonight
'Cause I need it, yeah, I need it all of the time
Yeah ooh, ooh, ooh
Lately our conversations
End like it's the last goodbye
Then one of us gets too lost and
Calls about a hundred times
So who you been calling, baby?
Nobody could take my place
When you looking at those strangers
Like to think you see my face
Youngblood say you want me
Say you want me out of your life
But I'm just a sad man walking tonight
But you need it, yeah, you need it all of the time
Yeah ooh, ooh, ooh
Youngblood say you want me
Say you want me back in your life
So I'm just a sad man crawling tonight
'Cause I need it, yeah, I need it all of the time
Yeah, ooh, ooh, ooh
You push and you push and I'm pulling away
Pulling away from you
I give and I give and I give and you take
Give and you take
You're running around and I'm running away
Running away from you
Mmm, from ya
Youngblood say you want me
Say you want me out of your life
But I'm just a sad man walking tonight
But you need it, yeah, you need it all of the time
Yeah, ooh, ooh, ooh
Youngblood say you want me
Say you want me back in your life
So I'm just a sad man crawling tonight
'Cause I need it, yeah, I need it all of the time
Yeah, ooh, ooh, ooh
You push and you push and I'm pulling away
Pulling away from you
I give and I give and I give and you take
Give and you take
Youngblood say you want me
Say you want me out of your life
But I'm just a sad man walking tonight

Remember the words you told me
You said you would love me forever
Love me t'ill the day I fly
Love me unconditionally
Surrender my everything
I gave you my all
'Cause you made me believe you're mine
You convinced me that you belonged to me
Yeah, you used to call me baby
You used to treat me with love and care
Now you're calling me by name
Now you are distant and formal with me
Takes one to know one, yeah
You and I are very similar
You beat me at my own big game
You outsmarted me in my own plan
You push and you push and i'm pulling away
You are pressuring me too much and I am trying to distance myself
Pulling away from you
I am trying to create distance between us
I give and I give and I give and you take
I am constantly giving to you, but you are only taking from me
Youngblood say you want me
You claim you want me
Say you want me out of your life
You say you want me gone from your life
But I'm just a sad man walking tonight
I am feeling sad and alone
But you need it, yeah, you need it all of the time
You need me, but only on your own terms
Lately our conversations
Recently when we talk
End like it's the last goodbye
it feels as though it is the final goodbye
Then one of us gets too lost and
One of us gets too emotional and upset
Calls about a hundred times
Calls repeatedly and excessively
So who you been calling, baby?
Who have you been talking to?
Nobody could take my place
No one could replace me in your life
When you looking at those strangers
When you are looking at other people
Like to think you see my face
You imagine that you see me in those strangers
You're running around and I'm running away
You are active and pursuing, while I am trying to escape
Mmm, from ya
From you
Give and you take
You take from me as much as you give
