The Pussycat Dolls performed the first single, ‘When I Grow Up’, off of their upcoming next album, slated to be out this Summer and loads of you requested the lyrics. So here it is, I also added an audio just in case you missed PCD’s 2008 MTV Movie Awards Live Performance.
When I Grow Up lyrics after the fold..
When I Grow Up by The Pussycat Dolls
Boys call you sexy (What’s up, sexy)
And you don’t care what they say
See, everytime you turn around
They scream your name[Verse 1]
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[Bridge]
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
Want them to know what your 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
Fresh and clean
Number one chick when I step out on the scene[Hook x2]
Be careful what you wish for ’cause you just might get it
You just might get it
You just might get it[Verse 2]
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[Bridge]
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
Want them to know what your 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
Fresh and clean
Number one chick when I step out on the scene[Hook x2]
Be careful what you wish for ’cause you just might get it
You just might get it
You just might get it[Verse]
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[Chorus]
[Hook x2]
[Chorus]
[Hook x2]
The lyrics are quite telling huh? It sure speaks volume on how the Pop Culture is these days. Everybody wants to be famous these days. They stretch out their 15 minutes as far as they could take it. Some people are successful and lucky enough to be on Top 40, or movies or TV shows. It’s all in the game of being famous. Whatever happened to, “When I Grow Up, I want to be a Doctor”? Now it’s When I Grow Up I want to be a Pop Star so I can make money, drive nice cars, date countless time, get on exclusive clubs with my Hollywood underage ID, be on magazines…etc.”
Anyhoo, do you like the single? Will you buy the next Pussycat Dolls Album? I probably would
