Mary-Kate & Ashley Olsen Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I am a kid. Let's get that right
I'm red and yellow. I'm black. I'm white
On a sunny day, on a stormy night
Gonna toot my whistle, gonna shine my light.

I am a kid.
I am a kid.
I am a kid.

I'm a kid. I'm a kid. I'm a k-I-d.
A k-I-d, that's me.

I am a kid. Let's get that straight.
I'm seven. I'm eleven. I'm five. I'm eight.
They say I gotta grow up but I can wait.
I love love. And I hate hate.

I am a kid.
I am a kid.
I am a kid.
I'm a kid. I'm a kid. I'm a k-I-d.
A k-I-d spells me.
I'm a kid. I'm a kid. I'm a k-I-d.
A k-I-d and that spells me.

I am a kid. Just wanna say "Hi"
Life is tough but so am I
Even on that rainy day
I'm gonna be okay.

Chorus:
I am a kid (I'm a k-I-d)
I am a kid (I'm a k-I-d)
I am a kid (I'm a k-I-d)
I'm a k-I-d.

I'm just a kid tryin' to have some fun
Without hurtin' anyone
I'll sing until I'm done.
I am a k-I-d.

Now you might think that I talk too loud.
Or maybe you think my head's in a cloud.
But I'm just a kid, doing my thing.
Singing what only a kid can sing.

Chorus

Come on along and be a kid with me.
Cause every kid has got a right to be

It's time for kids to make some history.
So everybody let you kid be free.
