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.
We Belong Together
Kidz Bop Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I didn't mean it
When I said I didn't love you, so
I should have held on tight
I never shoulda let you go
I didn't know nothing
I was stupid, I was foolish
I could not fathom that I would ever
Be without your love
Never imagined I'd be
Sitting here beside myself
'Cause I didn't know you
'Cause I didn't know me
But I thought I knew everything
I never felt
The feeling that I'm feeling
Now that I don't hear your voice
Or have your touch and kiss your lips
'Cause I don't have a choice
Oh, what I wouldn't give
To have you lying by my side
Right here, cause baby
(We belong together)
When you left I lost a part of me
It's still so hard to believe
Come back baby, please
'Cause we belong together
Who else am I gon' lean on
When times get rough
Who's gonna talk to me on the phone
Till the sun comes up
Who's gonna take your place
There ain't nobody better
Oh, baby baby, we belong together
I can't sleep at night
When you are on my mind
Bobby Womack's on the radio
Saying to me
"If you think you're lonely now"
Wait a minute
This is too deep (too deep)
I gotta change the station
So I turn the dial
Trying to catch a break
And then I hear Babyface
I only think of you
And it's breaking my heart
I'm trying to keep it together
But I'm falling apart
I'm feeling all out of my element
I'm throwing things, crying
Trying to figure out
Where the hell I went wrong
The pain reflected in this song
It ain't even half of what
I'm feeling inside
I need you
Need you back in my life, baby
When you left I lost a part of me
It's still so hard to believe
Come back baby, please
'Cause we belong together
Who else am I gon' lean on
When times get rough
Who's gonna talk to me on the phone
Till the sun comes up
Who's gonna take your place
There ain't nobody better
Oh, baby baby, we belong together, baby
When you left I lost a part of me
It's still so hard to believe
Come back baby, please
'Cause we belong together
Who am I gonna lean on
When times get rough
Who's gonna talk to me
Till the sun comes up
Who's gonna take your place
There ain't nobody better
Oh baby, baby
We belong together

Line by Line Meaning
I didn't mean it
I regret what I said about not loving you
When I said I didn't love you, so
I was wrong when I claimed not to love you
I should have held on tight
I should have kept you in my life
I never shoulda let you go
It was a mistake to push you away
I didn't know nothing
I was ignorant of how much I needed you
I was stupid, I was foolish
I made a dumb error by letting you leave
I was lying to myself
I was deceiving myself about not needing you
I could not fathom that I would ever
It was beyond me to imagine life without you
Be without your love
I can't function without your affection
Never imagined I'd be
I didn't think I could end up
Sitting here beside myself
Being alone without you is unbearable
'Cause I didn't know you
I didn't appreciate your worth
'Cause I didn't know me
I didn't know what I was missing in myself
But I thought I knew everything
I was too naive and overconfident
I never felt
I didn't experience
The feeling that I'm feeling
The pain and emptiness I'm feeling now
Now that I don't hear your voice
Since you're not speaking to me
Or have your touch and kiss your lips
I'm missing your physical presence in my life
'Cause I don't have a choice
I can't force you to be with me
Oh, what I wouldn't give
I wish I could do anything
To have you lying by my side
To be able to embrace and comfort you
Right here, cause baby
Your place is with me
(We belong together)
(We're meant to be together)
When you left I lost a part of me
I lost an essential part of myself when you walked away
It's still so hard to believe
I'm still in shock over losing you
Come back baby, please
I'm begging you to reconsider and return to me
Who else am I gon' lean on
I have nobody else to rely on
When times get rough
When everything starts to fall apart
Who's gonna talk to me on the phone
Who's going to comfort me when I'm on my own
Till the sun comes up
Until a new day begins
Who's gonna take your place
Who can possibly fill the void you left
There ain't nobody better
No one can ever compare to you
Oh, baby baby, we belong together
We're meant to be together, my love
I can't sleep at night
I'm plagued with insomnia
When you are on my mind
When you're all I can think of
Bobby Womack's on the radio
The radio is playing a song by Bobby Womack
Saying to me
Warning me
"If you think you're lonely now"
"If you're feeling lonely now"
Wait a minute
Hold on
This is too deep (too deep)
This is emotionally overwhelming
I gotta change the station
I need to switch to another song
So I turn the dial
I adjust the radio station
Trying to catch a break
Hoping for some relief
And then I hear Babyface
And then a song by Babyface plays
I only think of you
All my thoughts revolve around you
And it's breaking my heart
It hurts me deeply
I'm trying to keep it together
I'm attempting to hold myself together
But I'm falling apart
But I'm losing control
I'm feeling all out of my element
I'm out of sorts
I'm throwing things, crying
I'm lashing out and weeping
Trying to figure out
Attempting to understand
Where the hell I went wrong
What I did to cause this outcome
The pain reflected in this song
This song illustrates my pain
It ain't even half of what
This song doesn't even describe half of
I'm feeling inside
The deep emotions I'm going through
I need you
I can't be without you
Need you back in my life, baby
I desperately need you back with me
Who am I gonna lean on
Who else can I depend on
Who's gonna talk to me
Who will be there to converse with me
Till the sun comes up
Until the break of dawn
Oh baby, baby
My dear, my love
We belong together
We're meant to be together
