Boys call you sexy
|
And you don't care what they say
|
See every time you turn around,
|
They're 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 it's like to be nameless
|
Want them to know what your name is
|
'Cause you 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 Boy when I step out on the scene
|
|
Be careful what you wish for
|
'Cause you just might get it,
|
You just might get it,
|
You just might get it.
|
[repeat]
|
|
They used to tell me I was silly
|
Until I popped up on the TV
|
I always wanted to be a superstar
|
Who knew that singing songs would get me this far?
|
|
Well, I ain't complaining,
|
We all wanna be famous
|
So go ahead and say what
|
You wanna say.
|
|
You don't know what it's like to be nameless
|
Want them to know what your name is
|
'Cause you 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 Boy when I step out on the scene
|
|
Be careful what you wish for
|
'Cause you just might get it,
|
You just might get it,
|
You just might get it.
|
[repeat]
|
|
I see them staring at me
|
Oh, 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,
|
People know me, be on magazines
|
When I grow up, fresh and clean,
|
Number One Boy when I step out on the scene
|
|
Be careful what you wish for
|
'Cause you just might get it,
|
You just might get it,
|
You just might get it.
