When I Grow Up Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
Boys [Am]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 2]
Now I've got a [Am]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

[Verse 3]
But I ain't [Am]complaining
We all wanna be famous
So go ahead and say what
you wanna [F]say
You know what it's like to be nameless
Want them to know what
your name [Am]is
'Cause see when I was
younger I would say

[Verse 4]
When I grow [Am]up
I wanna be famous
I wanna [F]be a star
I wanna be in movies
When I grow [C]up
I wanna see the world
Drive nice [G]cars
I wanna have [Am]groupies
[G]When I grow [Am]up
Be on TV
People know [F]me
Be on magazines
When I grow [C]up
Fresh and clean
Number one [G]boy when I
step out on the scene

[Verse 5]
Be [Am]careful what you [G]wish for
'Cause [F#dim]you just might get i[F]t
[Am]You just might get it
You just might get it
Be careful what you [G]wish for
'Cause [D]you just [F#dim]might get[F] it
[Am]You just might get it
You just might get it (Get it?)

[Verse 6]
They used to tell me I was [Am]silly
Until I popped up on the TV
[F]I always wanted to be a superstar
[Am]And knew that singing songs
would get me this far

[Verse 7]
But I ain't [Am]complaining
We all wanna be famous
So go ahead and say what
you wanna [F]say
You know what it's like to be nameless
Want them to know what
your name [Am]is
'Cause see when I was
younger I would say

[Verse 8]
When I grow [Am]up
I wanna be famous
I wanna be a [F]star
I wanna be in movies
When I grow [C]up
I wanna see the world
Drive nice [G]cars
I wanna have groupies
[Am]When I grow up
Be on TV
People know [F]me
Be on magazines
When I grow [C]up
Fresh and clean
Number one [G]boy when I
step out on the scene

[Verse 9]
Be [Am]careful what you [G]wish for
'Cause [F#dim]you just might [F]get it

You just might get it
Be careful what you [G]wish for
'Cause you [F#dim]just might get [F]it

You just might get it

I see [F]them staring at me
[Am]Oh I'm a tre[G]ndsetter
Yes this is [Am]true 'cause what I do,
no one can [G]do it better
You can [F]talk about me
'Cause I'm a [G]hot topic
I see you [G#dim]watching [E]me, watching me,
