When I Grow Up (Pussycat Dolls cover) Lyrics
Boys call you sexy
And you don't care what they say
See every time you turn around they're screaming your name
Now I've got a confession
When I was young I wanted attention
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
And you don't care what they say
See every time you turn around they're screaming your name
When I was young I wanted attention
And I promised myself that I'd do anything
Anything at all for them to notice me

Actually, even in the PCD version, it's still 'groupies.'

definitely thought it was "...drive nice cars, I wanna have boobies"
this is a fantastic cover, made me headbang ridiculously and beam at nothing. who knew such a crappy song could sound so fucking awesome when sung by the right person?
SO much better than the original.
i dont care what anyone says, i will always say "boobies" instead of "groupies" it sounds...better haha.
a reeeaaaalllllyyy great cover to an originally pretty crappy song, i mean the PCD is nice to look at, but singing, there just annoying.
