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!)
