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.
Now I've got a confession
Ha ha ha ha
When I was young I wanted attention
Ha ha ha ha
And I promised myself that I'd do anything
Ha ha ha ha
Anything at all for them to notice me
Ha ha ha ha
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)
Cuz 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
Cuz you just might get it
You just might get it
You just might get it (Get it!)
They used to tell me I was silly
Ha ha ha ha
Until I popped up on the TV
Ha ha ha ha
I always wanted to be a superstar
Ha ha ha ha
And knew that singing songs would get me this far
Ha ha ha ha
I see them staring at me
Ooh I'm a trendsetter
Yes this is true cuz what I do
No one can do it better
You can talk about me
Cuz I'm a hot topic
I see you watching me watching me
And I know you want it, oh
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
Cuz you just might get it
You just might get it
You just might get it ( Get it!)
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
Cuz you just might get it
You just might get it
You just might get it (Get it!)
Be careful what you wish for
Cuz you just might get it
You just might get it
You just might get it (Get it!)
