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

Be careful what you wish for cus you just might get
it
