[Intro, x2] |
|
Boys call you sexy (What's up, sexy) |
|
And you don't care what they say |
|
See, every time you turn around |
|
They screamin' your name |
|
[Verse 1] |
|
Now I've got a confession |
|
When I was young I wanted attention |
|
And I promised myself that I'd do anything |
|
Anything at all for the boys to notice me |
|
[Bridge] |
|
But I ain't complaining |
|
We all wanna be famous |
|
So go ahead and say what you wanna say |
|
You know what it's like to be nameless |
|
Want them to know what your name is |
|
'Cause see when I was younger I would say |
|
[Chorus] |
|
When I grow up |
|
I wanna be famous |
|
I wanna be a star |
|
I wanna be in movies |
|
When I grow up |
|
I wanna see the world |
|
Drive nice cars |
|
I wanna have Groupies |
|
When I grow up |
|
Be on TV |
|
People know me |
|
Be on magazines |
|
When I grow up |
|
Fresh and clean |
|
Number one chick when I step out on the scene |
|
[Hook x2] |
|
But be careful what you wish for |
|
'Cause you just might get it |
|
But you just might get it |
|
But You just might get it |
|
[Verse 2] |
|
They used to tell me I was silly |
|
Until I popped up on the TV |
|
I always wanted to be a superstar |
|
And knew that singing songs would get me this far |
|
[Bridge] |
|
But I ain't complaining |
|
We all wanna be famous |
|
So go ahead and say what you wanna say |
|
You know what it's like to be nameless |
|
Want them to know what your name is |
|
'Cause see, when I was younger I would say |
|
[Chorus] |
|
When I grow up |
|
I wanna be famous |
|
I wanna be a star |
|
I wanna be in movies |
|
When I grow up |
|
I wanna see the world |
|
Drive nice cars |
|
I wanna have Groupies |
|
When I grow up |
|
Be on TV |
|

|
Be careful what you wish for |
|
'Cause you just might get it |
|
You just might get it |
|
You just might get it |
|
[Verse] |
|
I see them staring at me |
|
Oh I'm a trendsetter |
|
Yes this is true 'cause what I do, no one can do it better |
|
You can talk about me |
|
'Cause I'm a hot topic |
|
I see you watching me, watching me, and I know you want it |
|
[Chorus] |
|
When I grow up |
|
I wanna be famous |
|
I wanna be a star |
|
I wanna be in movies |
|
[Chorus] |
|
When I grow up |
|
I wanna be famous |
|
I wanna be a star |
|
I wanna be in movies |
|
