Verse 1:
C#m
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
A
And I promised myself that I'd do anything
C#m
Anything at all for them to notice me
Pre Chorus:
C#m
But I ain't complaining We all wanna be famous
So go ahead and say What you wanna say
A
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

I wanna be a star, I wanna be in movies
E

B
Drive nice cars, I wanna have groupies
C#m
When I grow up, be on TV
A Abm
People know me, be on magazines
E
When I grow up, fresh and clean
B
Number one boy when I step out on the scene

C#m B A Abm
Be careful what you wish for 'Cause you just might get it

You just might get it You just might get it

You just might get it You just might get it

Until I popped up on the TV

Who knew singing songs would get me this far?
