[Intro]
Boys call you s**y (What's up, s**y?)
And you don't care what they say
See, everytime you turn around
They scream 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 them 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
[Refrain x2]
Be careful what you wish for cause you just might get it
You just might get it
You just might get it
Be careful what you wish for cause you just might get it
You just might get it
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
People know me
Be on magazines
When I grow up
Fresh and clean
Number one chick when I step out on the scene
[Refrain x2]
Be careful what you wish for cause you just might get it
You just might get it
You just might get it
Be careful what you wish for cause you just might get it
You just might get it
You just might get it
[Verse 3]
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
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
[Refrain x2]
Be careful what you wish for cause you just might get it
You just might get it
You just might get it
Be careful what you wish for cause you just might get it
You just might get it
You just might get it
[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
[Refrain x2]
Be careful what you wish for cause you just might get it
You just might get it
You just might get it
Be careful what you wish for cause you just might get it
You just might get it
You just might get it
