Told You Once

Melody Thornton

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 

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 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 chick 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 

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 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 chick 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 
(2x) 

I see them staring at me 
Oh 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 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 

Be careful what you wish for 'cause you just might get it 
You just might get it 
You just might get it 
(2x) 

When I grow up 
I wanna be famous 
I wanna be a star 
I wanna be in movies 

Be careful what you wish for 'cause you just might get it 
You just might get it 
You just might get it
