When I Grow Up
Mayday Parade

Boys call you s*** (What's up s***!)

And you don't care what they say (Quit it!)

See every time you turn around they're screaming your name


Now I've got a confession

Ha ha ha ha

When I was young I wanted attention

Ha ha ha ha

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 don't 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


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 boy 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

Be careful what you wish for 'cause you just might get it

You just might get it, you just might get it


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 don't 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


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 boy 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

Be careful what you wish for 'cause you just might get it

You just might get it, you just might get it


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


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 boy 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

Be careful what you wish for 'cause you just might get it

You just might get it, you just might get it
