[Intro, x2]
Boys call you cute (What s up, cutie)
And you don’t care what they say
See, every time you turn around
They yell 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
