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)

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

'Cause see when I was younger I would say
