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

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

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

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

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

When I grow up, fresh and clean
G G
Number one boy when I step out on the scene

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

Am Am
They used to tell me I was silly

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

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

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

Want them to know what your name is
