[Verse 1]
My name is Britney and I don't care what you say
'Cause see, every time I turn around they screamin' my name
My name is Britney and I don't care what you say
'Cause see, every time I turn around they screamin' my name
(Right about now)
I swear that I was flippin' (At first when)
They said I look like Debbie Gibson (And then)
I tried to dance like Michael Jackson
But people saw me and started laughing

[Pre-Chorus]
But I ain't complaining
It comes with being famous
So go and say whatever you wanna say
Once upon a time I was namelеss
But now they know what my name is
'Cause see whеn 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, I wanna- fresh and clean
Number one chick when I step out on the scene
[Refrain]
But be careful what you wish for
'Cause you just might get it (Hey)
You, you just might get it (Hey)
You, you just might get it (Hey)
But be careful what you wish for
'Cause you just might get it (Hey)
You, you just might get it (Hey)
You, you just might get it (Hey)
Get it?

[Verse 2]
I would dress up like Madonna (Ha, ha, ha, ha)
Would even try singing like Cyndi Lauper (La, la, la, la)
I would pretend I was a superstar
I never thought me being me
Will get me that far

[Pre-Chorus]
But I ain't complaining
It comes with being famous
So go and say whatever you wanna say
One upon a time I was nameless
But now they know what my 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, I wanna- fresh and clean
Number one chick when I step out on the scene

[Refrain]
But be careful what you wish for
'Cause you just might get it (Hey)
You, you just might get it (Hey)
You, you just might get it (Hey)
But be careful what you wish for
'Cause you just might get it (Hey)
You, you just might get it (Hey)
You, you just might get it (Hey)
Get it?

[Bridge]
Hold up, I'm ready now
Let me hear what you're talkin' 'bout
All that mess comin' out your mouth
I mean that... Can't go on
Hold up, I'm ready now
Let me hear what you're talkin' 'bout
All that mess comin' out your mouth
I mean that... Can't go on
When I grow up
[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, I wanna- fresh and clean
Number one chick when I step out on the scene

[Refrain]
But be careful what you wish for
'Cause you just might get it (Hey)
You, you just might get it (Hey)
You, you just might get it (Hey)
But be careful what you wish for
'Cause you just might get it (Hey)
You, you just might get it (Hey)
You, you just might get it (Hey)
Get it?

[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, I wanna- fresh and clean
Number one chick when I step out on the scene

[Refrain]
But be careful what you wish for
'Cause you just might get it (Hey)
You, you just might get it (Hey)
You, you just might get it (Hey)
But be careful what you wish for
'Cause you just might get it (Hey)
You, you just might get it (Hey)
You, you just might get it (Hey)
Get it?
