Am
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 
F
 And I promised myself that I'd do anything 
Am
 Anything at all for them to notice me

Am
 But I ain't complaining We all wanna be famous

So go ahead and say What you wanna say
F
You don't know what it's like to be nameless

Want them to know what your name is
       Am              F                G
'Cause see, when I was younger, I would say

           Am
When I grow up, I wanna be famous
              F                   Em 
I wanna be a star, I wanna be in movies
            C
When I grow up, I wanna see the world
            G
Drive nice cars, I wanna have groupies
           Am
When I grow up, be on TV
            F           Em
People know me, be on magazines
            C
When I grow up, fresh and clean
            G                            
Number one boy when I step out on the scene

   Am               G                   F         Em
Be careful what you wish for 'Cause you just might get it
    Am
You just might get it You just might get it
Am               G                   F         Em
Be careful what you wish for 'Cause you just might get it
    Am
You just might get it You just might get it

Am
 They used to tell me I was silly

Until I popped up on the TV
F
 I always wanted to be a superstar
Am
 Who knew singing songs would get me this far?

Am
 But I ain't complaining We all wanna be famous

So go ahead and say What you wanna say
F
You don't know what it's like to be nameless

Want them to know what your name is
       Am              F                G
'Cause see, when I was younger, I would say

 Am
When I grow up, I wanna be famous
              F                   Em 
I wanna be a star, I wanna be in movies
            C
When I grow up, I wanna see the world
            G
Drive nice cars, I wanna have groupies
           Am
When I grow up, be on TV
            F           Em
People know me, be on magazines
            C
When I grow up, fresh and clean
            G

    Am
You just might get it You just might get it
Am               G                   F         Em
Be careful what you wish for 'Cause you just might get it
    Am
You just might get it You just might get it

             Am                    G        
I see them staring at me Oh, I'm a trendsetter
              Am
Yes, this is true, 'cause what I do
           G                     F
No one can do it better You can talk about me
              G                   E
'Cause I'm a hot topic I see you watching me
                   G              G#m
Watching me And I know you want it ----
