Boys call you s**y
And you don't care
What they say
See every time
You turn around
They scream your name
Just call you s**y
And you don't care
What they say
See every time
You turn around
You screaming
My name
(Don't y'all)
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 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:]
But be careful
What you wish for cause
You just might get it [x3]
But be careful
What you wish for cause
You just might get it [x3]
They used to tell me
I was silly,
(La, la, la, la)
Until I popped up
On the TV
(La, la, la, la)
I always wanted
To be a superstar (superstar)
(La, la, la, la)
Who knew that singing songs
Would get me this far
(La, la, la, la)
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 famous
When everybody know
What your name is
Cause 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

But be careful
What you wish for cause
You just might get it [x3]
I see you staring at me
(Ooh) I'm a trend setter
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
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
