When I Grow Up

[Intro, x2]

Boys call you ***y (What's up, ***y)

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

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]

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

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]

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

[Hook x2]

Be careful what you wish for

'Cause you just might get it

You just might get it

You just might get it
