Lyrics to "when I grow up" from the Pussycat Dolls

Boys call you sexy (What’s up, sexy) And you don’t care what they say See, every time you turn around They screamin’ your name

[Verse 1] Now I’ve got a confession When I was young I wanted attention And I promised myself that I’d do anything Anything at all for the boys to notice me

[Bridge] But I ain’t complaining We all want to be famous So go ahead and say what you want to 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

[Chorus] When I grow up I want to be famous I want to be a star I want to be in movies

When I grow up I want to see the world Drive nice cars I want to 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

[Hook x2] But be careful what you wish for ‘Cause you just might get it But you just might get it But You just might get it

[Verse 2] They used to tell me I was silly Until I popped up on the TV I always wanted to be a superstar And knew that singing songs would get me this far

[Bridge] But I ain’t complaining We all want to be famous So go ahead and say what you want to 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

[Chorus] When I grow up I want to be famous I want to be a star I want to be in movies

When I grow up I want to see the world Drive nice cars I want to 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

[Hook x2] Be careful what you wish for ‘Cause you just might get it You just might get it You just might get it

[Verse] 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

[Chorus] When I grow up I want to be famous I want to be a star I want to be in movies

[Chorus] When I grow up I want to be famous I want to be a star I want to be in movies

When I grow up I want to see the world Drive nice cars I want to 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

[Hook x2] Be careful what you wish for ‘Cause you just might get it You just might get it You just might get it

[Chorus] When I grow up I want to be famous I want to be a star I want to be in movies

When I grow up I want to see the world Drive nice cars I want to 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

[Hook x2] Be careful what you wish for ‘Cause you just might get it You just might get it You just might get it
