When I Grow Up

[Intro: ]G - F# - F - Em 
Boys call you sexy and you don't care what they say  
See everytime you turn around they're screamin' your name  
Boys call you sexy and you don't care what they say  
See everytime you turn around they're screamin' your name  

Verse 1: G - F# - F - Em 
Now I 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) 

Refrain: G - F# - F - Em 
But I ain't complaining (oh) 
We all wanna be famous (oh) 
So go ahead and say what you wanna say (oh) 
You 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 

Chorus: G - F# - F - Em 
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 

Verse 2: G - F# - F - Em 
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 (superstar) (ha, ha, ha, ha) 
Who knew singing songs would get me this far (la, la, la la)  

Refrain: G - F# - F - Em 
But I ain't complaining (oh) 
We all wanna be famous (oh) 
So go ahead and say what you wanna say (oh) 
You 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 

{Chorus} 

            C                       D 
I see them staring at me, oh, I'm a trendsetter 
            Em 
Yes this is true ‘cuz what I do, no one can do it better 
        C                         D 
You can talk about me, ‘cuz I'm a hot topic 
          Am 
I see you watching me, watching me and I know you want it 

{Chorus}
