Lyrics

[Intro]
Boys call you sexy
And you don't care what they say
But see, every time you turn around
They're screaming your name
Boys call you sexy
And you don't care what they say
But see, every time you turn around
They're screaming your name
Right about now, Darkchild
[Verse 1]
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
[PreChorus]
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
[Chorus]
But be careful what you wish for
'Cause you just might get it
Y-you just might get it
Y-you just might get it
But be careful what you wish for
'Cause you just might get it
Y-you just might get it
Y-you just might get it, get it?
[Verse 2]
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?
[PreChorus]
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
[Chorus]
But be careful what you wish for
'Cause you just might get it
Y-you just might get it
Y-you just might get it
But be careful what you wish for
'Cause you just might get it
Y-you just might get it
Y-you just might get it, get it?
[Bridge]
I see them staring at me
Ooh, I'm a trendsetter
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, oh
[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
[Chorus]
But be careful what you wish for
'Cause you just might get it
Y-you just might get it
Y-you just might get it
But be careful what you wish for
'Cause you just might get it
Y-you just might get it
Y-you just might get it, get it?
[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
[Chorus]
But be careful what you wish for
'Cause you just might get it
Y-you just might get it
Y-you just might get it
But be careful what you wish for
'Cause you just might get it
Y-you just might get it
Y-you just might get it, get it?
