Boys call you sexy (What´s up, sexy?)
And you don´t care what they say
See everytime you turn around
They´re screaming your name...
Now I´ve got a confession (ha, ha, ha, ha)
When I was young, I wanted attention (ha, ha, ha, ha)
And I promised myself that I´d do anything (ha, ha, ha, ha)
Anything at all for them to notice me (ha, ha, ha, ha)

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 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
Be careful what you wish for ´Cause you just might get it
You just might get it You just might get it (get it)

They used to tell me I was silly (la, la, la, la)
Until I popped up on the TV (la, la, la, la)
I always wanted to be a superstar (la, la, la, la)
Who knew singing songs would get me this far? (la, la, la, la)

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 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
Be careful what you wish for ´Cause you just might get it
You just might get it You just might get it

I see them staring at me Oh, 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

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
Be careful what you wish for ´Cause you just might get it
You just might get it You just might get it
