Verse 1:
C#m
Boys call you 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
When I was young, I wanted attention
A
And I promised myself that I'd do anything
C#m
Anything at all for them to notice me
Pre Chorus:
C#m
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
A B
'Cause see, when I was younger, I would say
Chorus:
C#m
When I grow up, I wanna be famous
A Ab
I wanna be a star, I wanna be in movies
E
When I grow up, I wanna see the world
B
Drive nice cars, I wanna have groupies
C#m
When I grow up, be on TV
A Ab
People know me, be on magazines
E
When I grow up, fresh and clean
B
Number one boy when I step out on the scene
Post Chorus:
C#m B A Ab
Be careful what you wish for 'Cause you just might get it
C#m
You just might get it You just might get it
C#m B A Ab
Be careful what you wish for 'Cause you just might get it
C#m
You just might get it You just might get it
Verse 2:
C#m
They used to tell me I was silly
Until I popped up on the TV
A
I always wanted to be a superstar
C#m
Who knew singing songs would get me this far?
Pre Chorus:
C#m
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
A B
'Cause see, when I was younger, I would say
Chorus:
C#m
When I grow up, I wanna be famous
A Ab
I wanna be a star, I wanna be in movies
E
When I grow up, I wanna see the world
B
Drive nice cars, I wanna have groupies
C#m
When I grow up, be on TV
A Ab
People know me, be on magazines
E
When I grow up, fresh and clean
B
Number one boy when I step out on the scene
Post Chorus:
C#m B A Ab
Be careful what you wish for 'Cause you just might get it
C#m
You just might get it You just might get it
C#m B A Ab
Be careful what you wish for 'Cause you just might get it
C#m
You just might get it You just might get it
Bridge:
C#m B
I see them staring at me Oh, I'm a trendsetter
C#m
Yes, this is true, 'cause what I do
B A
No one can do it better You can talk about me
B A
'Cause I'm a hot topic I see you watching me
B
Watching me And I know you want it ----
