Boys call you sexy (What's up sexy?), and you don't care what they say
See everytime you turn around they're screamin' your name

Now I 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 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

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

But be careful what you wish for cause
you just might get i
you just might get it
you just might get it

But be careful what you wish for cause
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
Who knew 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 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

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

But be careful what you wish for cause
you just might get it
you just might get it
you just might get it

But be careful what you wish for cause
you just might get it
you just might get it
you just might get it 

I see you staring at me
Oh I'm a trendsetter
Yes this is true cus what I do, no one can do it better
You could 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 chick when I step out on the scene 

But be careful what you wish for cause
you just might get it
you just might get it
you just might get it
