Lyrics

[Verse 1]

When I grow up, I wanna be

A movie star or on TV

'Cause workin' just don't work for me

But I can't focus feeling hopeless

So I'll just sit back, try to relieve

Try to look mean

[Verse 2]

All I wanna do is

Live in ecstasy

I know what's best for me

I can't help it (I can't help it)

It's this hopeless itch

I just wanna feel (Wanna feel)

Purple, yellow, red, and blue

[Verse 3]

When I grow up, I wanna be

A rich kid born celebrity

It's not greed, but necessity

Now I don't focus on the hopeless

When I look out, it's only for me

It's only for me

[Verse 4]

All I wanna do is

Live in ecstasy

I know what's best for me

I can't help it (I can't help it)

It's this hopeless itch

I just wanna feel (Wanna feel)

Purple, yellow, red, and blue

[Verse 5]

All I wanna do is

Live in ecstasy

I know what's best for me

I can't help it (I can't help it)

It's this hopeless itch

I just wanna feel (Wanna feel)

Purple, yellow, red, and blue

[Verse 6]

All that I needed

Is something to believe in

Because everything just falls in place like that

[Verse 7]

All that I needed

Is something to believe in

Everything just falls in place like that

[Verse 8]

When I grow up, I wanna be

A rich kid born celebrity

It's not greed but necessity

Now I don't focus on the hopeless

When I look out, it's only for me

It's only for me

[Verse 9]

All I wanna do is

Live in ecstasy

I know what's best for me

I can't help it (I can't help it)

It's this hopeless itch

I just wanna feel (Wanna feel)

Purple, yellow, red, and blue

[Verse 10]

All I wanna do is

Live in ecstasy

I know what's best for me

I can't help it (I can't help it)

It's this hopeless itch

I just wanna feel (Wanna feel)

Purple, yellow, red, and blue

[Verse 11]

All I wanna do is

Live in ecstasy

I know what's best for me

I can't help it (I can't help it)

It's this hopeless itch

I just wanna feel (Wanna feel)

Purple, yellow, red, and blue
