Rodney Jerkins - When I Grow Up lyrics

[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 Just call you s**y (What's up, s**y) And you don't care what they say (Yeah) See, everytime you turn around They scream your name (Darkchild) [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 [Pre-Chorus] 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] But be careful what you wish for Cause you just might get it You just might get it You just might get it But be careful what you wish for Cause you just might get it You just might get it You just might get it Get it? [Verse 2] They used to tell me I was silly 'Til I popped up on the TV I always wanted to be a superstar Who knew that singing songs would get me this far? [Pre-Chorus] 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] But be careful what you wish for Cause you just might get it You just might get it You just might get it But be careful what you wish for Cause you just might get it You just might get it You just might get it Get it? [Bridge] I see them staring at me Ooh, 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] But be careful what you wish for Cause you just might get it You just might get it You just might get it But be careful what you wish for Cause you just might get it You just might get it You just might get it 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] But be careful what you wish for Cause you just might get it You just might get it You just might get it But be careful what you wish for Cause you just might get it You just might get it You just might get it Get it?
