Eleven Kidz Bop albums have been released to date. Each album features different pop music songs, played with music similar to the original, and with the "Kidz Bop Kids" singing instead of the original artist. Albums are typically released within a few months of each other and thus the songs included tend to be the hit songs of the current time, including such songs such as "Float On" (Modest Mouse), "This Love" (Maroon 5), and "Boulevard of Broken Dreams" (Green Day).
Although the albums are marketed as being "sanitized" versions of popular songs for children, many of the songs featured on the Kidz Bop albums still contain explicit sexual material, such as Rob Thomas's "Lonely No More," which some people consider inappropriate for younger audiences. Other featured songs, such as "Boulevard of Broken Dreams", contain profanity. Although the albums censor the actual word from the song, the context of the profanity remains. They also covered Green Day's hit "Wake Me Up When September Ends", which is about death.
The Kidz Bop video for their cover of Avril Lavigne's "Sk8r Boi", for instance, features the song being sung by a pre-teen girl in heavy make-up, fishnet stockings, and a Sex Pistols t-shirt.
Just the Way You Are
Kidz Bop Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Make the stars look like they're not shining
Her hair, her hair
Falls perfectly without her trying
She's so beautiful and I tell her every day
Yeah i know, I know
When I compliment her she won't believe me
And it's so, it's so
But every time she asks me do I look okay
I say
When I see your face (face)
There's not a thing that I would change
'Cause you're amazing (amazing)
Just the way you are
And when you smile (smile)
The whole world stops and stares for awhile
'Cause girl you're amazing (amazing)
Just the way you are yeah
Her lips, her lips
I could kiss them all day if she'd let me
Her laugh, her laugh
She hates but I think it's so sexy
She's so beautiful and I tell her everyday
Oh you know, you know, you know
I'd never ask you to change
If perfect's what you're searching for
Then just stay the same
So don't even bother asking if you look okay
You know I'll say!
When I see your face (face)
There's not a thing that I would change
'Cause you're amazing (amazing)
Just the way you are
And when you smile (smile)
The whole world stops and stares for awhile
'Cause girl you're amazing (amazing)
Just the way you are yeah
When I see your face (face)
There's not a thing that I would change
'Cause girl you're amazing (amazing)
Just the way you are
And when you smile (smile)
The whole world stops and stares for awhile
'Cause girl you're amazing (amazing)
Just the way you are
The way you are the way you are
Girl you're amazing (amazing)
Just the way you are (are)
When I see your face (face)
There's not a thing that I would change
'Cause you're amazing (amazing)
Just the way you are
And when you smile (smile)
The whole world stops and stares for awhile
'Cause girl you're amazing (amazing)
Just the way you are yeah
When I see your face (face)
There's not a thing that I would change
'Cause girl you're amazing (amazing)
Just the way you are and when you smile
The whole world stops and stares for awhile
'Cause girl you're amazing
Just the way you are
