Boys call you sexy  
And you don?t care what they say  
See every time you turn around  
They screaming your name  
 
Boys call you sexy  
And you don?t care what they say  
See every time 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  
Cuz 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  
Cuz you just might get it  
You just might get it  
You just might get it  
 
Be careful what you wish for  
Cuz you just might get it  
You just might get it  
You just might get it  
 
They used to tell me I was silly  
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  
Cuz 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

Be on magazines  
 
When I grow up

When I step out on the scene  
 
Be careful what you wish for  
Cuz you just might get it  
You just might get it  
You just might get it  
 
Be careful what you wish for  
Cuz you just might get it  
You just might get it  
You just might get it  
 
I see them staring at me  
Ooh I’m a trendsetter  
Yes this is true cuz what I do  
No one can do it better  
 
You can talk about me  
Cuz I’m a hot topic  
I see you watching me watching me  
And I know you want it, oh  
 
When I grow up  
I wanna be famous  
I wanna be a star  
I wanna be in movies
