Boy's call you sexy, and you don't care what they say
You See everytime you turn around they screaming your name (x2)

Now I've got a confession (HA-HA-HA-HA)
When I was young I wanted attention (HA-HA-HA-HA)
An 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 (Oh)
We all wanna be famous (Oh)
So go ahead and say what you wanna say (Oh)
You don't know what it's like to be nameless (Oh)
Want them to know what your name is (Oh)
'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

And Be careful what you wish for 'cause
You just might get it
Y-You just might get it
Y-You just might get it

And 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?

They used to tell me I was silly (HA-HA-HA-HA)
Until I popped up on the TV (LA-LA-LA-LA)
I always wanted to be a superstar (HA-HA-HA-HA)
And knew that singing songs would get me this far (LA-LA-LA-LA)

But I ain't complaining (Oh)
We all wanna be famous (Oh)
So go ahead and say what you wanna say (Oh)
You don't know what it's like to be nameless (Oh)
Want them to know what your name is (Oh)
