When I Grow Up
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.
Boys call you sexy
and you don't care what they say
See everytime you turn around they screaming your
name
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
But I ain't complaining
We all wanna be famous
So go ahead and say what you wanna say
You don't know what its like to be nameless
Want them to know what your name is
Cus see when I was younger I would say
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
Be careful what you wish for cus you just might get
it
You just might get it
You just might get it
Be careful what you wish for cus you just might get
it
You just might get it
You just might get it
I used to tell them I was fooling,
until I popped up on the TV
I always wanted to be a superstar,
And knew that singing songs would get me this far
But I ain't complaining
We all wanna be famous
So go ahead and say what you wanna say
You don't know what its like to be nameless
Want them to know what your name is
Cus see when I was younger I would say
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
Be careful what you wish for cus you just might get
it
You just might get it
You just might get it
Be careful what you wish for cus you just might get
it
You just might get it
You just might get it
I see them staring at me
Oh I'm a trendsetter
Yes this is true cus what I do, no one can do it
better
You can talk about me, cus I'm a hot topic
I see you watching me watching me and I know you want
it
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
Be careful what you wish for cus you just might get
it
You just might get it
You just might get it
Be careful what you wish for cus you just might get
it
You just might get it
You just might get it
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
