Verse 1:

              C#5
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 
A5
 And I promised myself that I'd do anything 
C#5
 Anything at all for them to notice me

Pre Chorus:
C#5
 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
                        A5                B5
'Cause see, when I was younger, I would say

Chorus:
           C#5
When I grow up, I wanna be famous
              A5                   Ab5 
I wanna be a star, I wanna be in movies
            E5
When I grow up, I wanna see the world
            B5
Drive nice cars, I wanna have groupies
           C#5
When I grow up, be on TV
            A5           Ab5
People know me, be on magazines
            E5
When I grow up, fresh and clean
            B5                            
Number one boy when I step out on the scene

Post Chorus:
   C#5               B5                   A5         Ab5
Be careful what you wish for 'Cause you just might get it
    C#5
You just might get it You just might get it
C#5               B5                   A5         Ab5
Be careful what you wish for 'Cause you just might get it
    C#5
You just might get it You just might get it

Verse 2:
C#5
 They used to tell me I was silly

Until I popped up on the TV
A5
 I always wanted to be a superstar
C#5
 Who knew singing songs would get me this far?

Pre Chorus:
C#5
 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
                        A5                B5
'Cause see, when I was younger, I would say

Bridge:
             C#5                    B5        
I see them staring at me Oh, I'm a trendsetter
              C#5
Yes, this is true, 'cause what I do
           B5                     A5
No one can do it better You can talk about me
              B5                   A5
'Cause I'm a hot topic I see you watching me

Watching me And I know you want it ----
