Melody Thornton Told You Once
Boys call you sexy (What's up, sexy)
And you don't care what they say
See, everytime you turn around
They scream your name
(2x)
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 them to notice me
But I ain't complaining
We all wanna be famous
So go ahead and say what you wanna 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 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
Be careful what you wish for 'cause you just might get it
You just might get it
You just might get it
(2x)
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
But I ain't complaining
We all wanna be famous
So go ahead and say what you wanna 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 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
Be careful what you wish for 'cause you just might get it
You just might get it
You just might get it
(2x)
I see them staring at me
Oh I'm a trend setter
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 wanna be famous
I wanna be a star
I wanna be in movies
Be careful what you wish for 'cause you just might get it
You just might get it
You just might get it
(2x)
Chorus
When I grow up
I wanna be famous
I wanna be a star
I wanna be in movies
Be careful what you wish for 'cause you just might get it
You just might get it
You just might get it
(2x)
