intro
Boys call you "Sexy" (What's up, Sexy?)
And you don't care what they say (Ha-Ha)
See every time you turn around
They're screaming your name
Just call you "Sexy" (What's up, Sexy?)
And you don't care what they say (Yeah)
See every time you turn around
They're screaming your name (Don't y'all)
And you don't care what they say (Ha-Ha)
See every time you turn around
They're screaming your name
Just call you "Sexy" (What's up, Sexy?)
And you don't care what they say (Yeah)
See every time you turn around
They're screaming your name (Don't y'all)
verse 1
Now I 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 (Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha)
Anything at all for them to notice me (Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha)
When I was young I wanted attention (Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha)
And I promised myself that I'd do anything (Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha)
Anything at all for them to notice me (Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha)
pre-chorus
But I ain't complaining, we all wanna be famous
So go ahead and say what you wanna say
You 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
So go ahead and say what you wanna say
You 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
chorus
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
But be careful what you wish for 'cause you just might get it
You just might get it, you just might get it
But be careful what you wish for 'cause you just might get it
You just might get it, you just might get it
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
But be careful what you wish for 'cause you just might get it
You just might get it, you just might get it
But be careful what you wish for 'cause you just might get it
You just might get it, you just might get it
verse 2
They used to tell me I was silly (Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha)
Until I popped up on the TV (La-La-La-La)
I always wanted to be a superstar (Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha)
Who knew singing songs would get me this far? (La-La-La-La)
Until I popped up on the TV (La-La-La-La)
I always wanted to be a superstar (Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha)
Who knew singing songs would get me this far? (La-La-La-La)

So go ahead and say what you wanna say
You know what it's like to be nameless
Want them to know what your name is
