Who I Wanna Be

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Yo!

I'm just a girl from a small town, just spreading my love around (yeah)

But I should be up in L.A, or along doing Jessie J

I wanna sing with Beyonce, wanna spit that volume like Lil' Wayne (yo)

And I can do any genre, just tell me that you wanna, wanna

Lay that beat down while I sing along

Yeah (yeah) we can part till dawn, rage all night until the morn!

Write a and a verse or two

But if you knew the truth

I always wish that I could dance like Madonna (yeah)

Shake it like Rihanna

Have them curves like Nikki

And the voice of Ricky

Have that swagger like T-Pain

(Yo) I could go insane

Throw some glitter in the air

Have Ke$ha's crazy hair!

And no matter where I go, they're on my radio (yo, yo)

Showing my the ways, to mind my great escape

Since I was young, I felt that bass and drum

It was always clear to me, this is who I wanna be (what?)

See I was born for this, cause I felt's in my finger tips (that's right)

Writing like I was Taylor Swift (yo!), and maybe she can lay a verse on this

And I could go to the Grammy's, holding hands with Adele and the family

But I gotta get the one hit song, and you can come along, if we just

Lay that beat down while I sing along

Yeah (yeah) we can party till dawn, haters gonna hate but we can prove them wrong (yo)

Write the and a verse or two, but if you only knew (hey, what?)

I always wish that I could dance (wooh!) like Madonna

Shake it like Rihanna

Have them curves like Nikki

And the voice of Ricky

Have that swagger like T-Pain (yo)

I could go insane

Throw some glitter in the air

(Ke$ha) Have Ke$ha's crazy hair!

And no matter where I go, They're on my radio (yeah, yo)

Showing my the ways, to mind my great escape (what?)

Since I was young, I felt that bass and drum

It was always clear to me, this is who I wanna be

Doesn't matter where I go (no, I go, no) because I know (yeah, I know, yeah)

Who I'll always be (be), yeah, I'm gonna be me (wooh)

Doesn't matter where I go, doesn't matter where it's to

I'll still be me, but you, you know that you wish you could

Dance like Madonna

Shake it like Rihanna

Have them curves like Nikki

And the voice of Ricky

Have that swagger like T-Pain (wooh!)

I could go insane

Throw some glitter in the air

Have Ke$ha's crazy hair! (Ke$ha)

And no matter where I go, They're on my radio (that's right)

Showing my the ways, to mind my great escape (what?)

Since I was young, I felt that bass and drum

It was always clear to me, this is who I wanna be

See I was born for this, cause I felt's in my finger tips

(Tips, tips, tips, tips, tips)

This is who I wanna be.

(Woooh!)

(Yeah, yeah, Ke$ha!)
