When I Grow Up - Pussycat Dolls


Boys call you sexy
And you don’t care
What they say
See everytime
You turn around
You saying my name

(Don’t y’all)

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)

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
When no one knows
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 chick
Wanna step out
On the scene

But be careful
What you wish for cause
Just might get it
Just might get it
Just might get it
But be careful
What you wish for cause
Just might get it
Just might get it
Just might get it
Yeahh,

They used to tell me
I was silly,
(La,la,la,la)
Until I popped up
On the TV
(La,la,la,la)
I always wanted
To be a superstar
(La,la,la,la)
Who knew singing songs
Would get me this far
(La,la,la,la)

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 famous
When no one knows
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 chick
Wanna step out
On the scene

But be careful
What you wish for cause
Just might get it
Just might get it
Just might get it
But be careful
What you wish for cause
Just might get it
Just might get it
Just might get it

I see starting at me
I’m a trend setter
Yes, this is true
Cause what I do
No one can do it better
You can talk about me
Cause
I’m a hot ‘sup bitch
I see you
Watchin’ you, watchin’ me
And I know you want it

When I grow up
Uhhhhhhhhhhh
When I grow up
When I grow up

Get 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 chick
Wanna step out
On the scene

But be careful
What you wish for cause
Just might get it
Just might get it
Just might get it
But be careful
What you wish for cause
Just might get it
Just might get it
Just might get it
Get it

its groupies AND boobies, they alternate…its boobies near the end and groupies in the beginning.

its “WHEN I step on the scene” not “wanna step on the scene”

Actually you guys aren’t right. It’s NOT boobies. They were on Ellen Degeneres and they said all though many people may sing it that way they sing it as GROUPIES and only GROUPIES. They said there is no alternating back in forth. There has only been one lyric since they wrote the song.

It most deffidently is not boobies. There is so much proof, the PCD’s even said it. If it helps you sleep at night think whatever you want

Pussycat dolls is the greatest girl band ever. I love Nicole because she is very beautiful, very sexy and has a great singing voice.
