Pussycat Dolls - When I Grow Up Lyrics
[Intro x2]
Boys call you sexy (What’s up sexy)
And you don’t care what they say
See, everytime you turn around they screamin’ your name
[Verse 1]
Now I’ve got a confession[Ha Ha Ha Ha]
When I was young, I wanted attention[Ha Ha Ha Ha]
And I promised myself that I’d do anything[Ha Ha Ha Ha]
Anything at all for them to notice me[Ha Ha Ha Ha]
[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 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]
But 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[Ha Ha Ha Ha]
Until I popped up on the TV[La La La La]
I always wanted to be a superstar[Ha Ha Ha Ha]
And knew that singing songs would get me this far[La La La La]
[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 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]
But be careful what you wish for cause’ you just might get it
You just might get it
You just might get it
[Verse 3]
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]

Lo is right all the way through the song!!! If you want more CORRECT lyrics, go to [metrolyrics.com] the person who wrote this should never be allowed to write lyrics on the internet again! Oh, and it does NOT say “don’t ya’ll” it DOES however say Darkchild!
June 7th, 2008 at 1:26 pm
Lo corrected every single one of you, haha.
Lo is boss.
June 9th, 2008 at 3:24 am
Thanks aabel and Janelle!!!
June 10th, 2008 at 11:57 am
the lyric is They used to tell me I was silly not They used to tell me I was fooling
PS. plz do NOT post lyrics if you don`t know the words
June 10th, 2008 at 12:29 pm
ummm the lyrics are wrong its groupies not boobies retards
June 10th, 2008 at 3:17 pm
OMG WTF can’t you hear? It is definitely BOOBIES. If you listen to it enough times (I have no life) it becomes quite easy to make out the B at the beginning of the word even if it sounds like a P in the middle.
Kev1 your reasoning is rather STUPID; she says she wants to be famous and a star and she is already, does that mean she can’t have said it in the song?
And anyway the song is written from the view of a little girl and I’d be worried if my little girl wanted to have people lust after sexually; boobies is something all girls want unless they’re lesbian.
June 11th, 2008 at 12:37 am
Go to any other lyric site and look up this song…It says GROUPIES!!! When I first heard the song, I thought it said boobies too but if you actually listen to it, it DOES say groupies! If you cannot hear groupies, you are a complete dumbass!!!
June 11th, 2008 at 2:44 pm
Actually I think I might know where the confusion lies. Upon listening to the live version it does seem to be groupies, but if you listen to the recorded version (which until minutes ago was all I’d heard) such as the leak or the radio play, the boobies are definitely audible. Perhaps it’s because they weren’t allowed to say boobies in front of the audience. Meh it doesn’t really matter now since here they’ve been changed to groupies, but when the album comes out it will be apparent that I’m right assuming they publish the lyrics in the booklet.
June 11th, 2008 at 2:47 pm
OMFG “Veneficus”!!!!!! GET A LIFE!!!!!!!
June 14th, 2008 at 12:57 pm
ohh i didnt think it was wanna hav groupies i thought it was wanna hav boobies LoL
June 14th, 2008 at 12:59 pm
sounds better with boobies tho LoL
June 17th, 2008 at 5:13 am
i dont think they are gonnna put the word “boobies” in a song! especially wen young girls look up to the pussycat dolls! the song would be classified as explicit! they may well say “boobies” in the video above but in the album version of the song its “groupies” for definate!
June 17th, 2008 at 11:02 am
yea yall are stupid no one looks up to these strippers there gay wit big boobs wit no tallent GAY LOSERS!!!!!!
but i like this song…
June 17th, 2008 at 2:28 pm
I’ll apologise in advance for such a long post. Anyways, why not put boobies? They put ho in other songs, and Beep is VERY suggestive, i mean, heck a sheltered 7 year old could pick up what they are implying it’s so obvious. And I would rather my little girl know what boobies are than groupies, but thats all beside the point now. Oh yes and lolo these points are for you:
-Posting responses does not constitute stupid
-It is clear after watching Search for the Next Doll that at least a few people look up to them
-I have never seen them strip (although I’d like to); wearing skimpy clothes does not constitute a stripper. Anyway Main Street is full of girls with little clothes on
-Half the music industry has no talent but they still make money, it proves that sex sells. At least they don’t claim credit for the works of other people like Usher with the beat for ‘Love in this Club’ being stolen from GarageBand and Kanye West with half the words for ‘Stronger’ being stolen from a techno band
-They are not gay (not that that would be a problem). They are are all in relationships with men so even though they could still be bi (here’s hoping) they are NOT gay
-Finally, what’s wrong with big boobs? Jealous ‘cos you don’t got them?
As the ‘brothers from the hood’ would say “You just got OWNED *pimp slap* biarch!”
No hard feelings?
June 17th, 2008 at 9:12 pm
I just read the little introductory piece at the beginnig; it says the album will be called ‘To Those Who Wait’ but I’m under the impression it is going to be called ‘Doll Domination’.
June 18th, 2008 at 5:24 am
You made a mistake in the lyrics.
“I wanna have groupies” is wrong it’s
“I want to have Boobies”
June 18th, 2008 at 7:08 am
why would it say i wanna have boobies.. what 20 something year old person would say the word “boobies”
June 18th, 2008 at 4:22 pm
it most definately IS DarkChild not Don’t Y’all… you must be a deaf ass if you think it says Don’t Ya’ll!!
June 18th, 2008 at 4:27 pm
and Hannah, your a deaf ass too, like KMK said, why on EARTH would they use such a tacky line!! the song is all about being famous, so naturally having GROUPIES would make more sense! she has fantastic boobies… aahh your dumb! and Veneficus, plz, PCD’s no matter what lyrics have put in their other songs … they did NOT say BOOBIES they said GROUPIES! you need to listen to the song carefully! and PCD’s did not write the song to suit your little girls ears!
June 21st, 2008 at 3:20 am
wow Veneficus yea no hard feelings i no how to take shots but u know.. DONT TALK
June 21st, 2008 at 3:30 am

June 26th, 2008 at 9:23 am
omg! lol it sounds like boobies instead of groupies I swear! but it’s an awesome song! and all u peeps on here talking bout nasty stuff quit!
June 26th, 2008 at 6:40 pm
i know that it is groupies,
but it doesnt matter that they have “great boobies”
the song is talking about before they were famous
so your way of thinking makes no sense
June 28th, 2008 at 7:58 am
k
just bcuz its sounds like boobies dosent mean ur rite
and look at many other lyrics they say groupies
so get over it
i thought they said boobies but if u listen closly u hear the g.
June 28th, 2008 at 11:44 am
wow retards,
search radio interview pussycat… and you will find their
interview,
they clearly state that it says groupies
and specifically say it does not say
boobies
June 29th, 2008 at 1:35 am
I Thought it was boobies:P lol and then i thought it was fashion queen not fresh and clean:D
June 29th, 2008 at 1:35 pm
THE ANSWER AT LAST———- Its both. I had a friend who works with their recording studio ask them today. 3 of them say boobies, and 2 of them say Groupies. But the main singer says Groupies. SO there stop preparing for ww3
June 30th, 2008 at 12:08 pm

July 5th, 2008 at 12:38 am

July 6th, 2008 at 4:28 pm
umm. all i have to say is you all need to find sumthing betta to do with ur tym then to cum on here and critise about lyrics to a song. its a song. get ova it.
July 7th, 2008 at 1:41 am
Many songs these days have two versions, the one that they actually wanted to have, and the one that can be played on general radio/videos. Since the song is from the perspective of a young person looking forward to when they grow up, the use of Boobies is perfectly reasonable. The way they media portrays these ‘assets’ its very likely it would be something that a young girl would wish for… And likely something that they might want to be careful wishing for if they want to be taken seriously.
July 7th, 2008 at 3:32 pm
Yes, cat is right, in fact some editions of the single have two versions of the song that sound exactly the same except for the boobies/groupies. I personally like boobies better, but it’s an excellent song anyway. And I LUV the dance in the middle/end that they do it’s so hot and hip (lol can’t believe I said ‘hip’). About the Don’t Y’all/Dark Child thing, the latter makes more sense not just logically but grammatically as well. Can’t wait for the full album : )
July 7th, 2008 at 5:41 pm
OMG ITS JUST A SONG IT HAS DIFFERENT LYRICS ON DIFFERNT SONGS. But I can understand why ur debating.LISTEN TO THE ACTUALL ALBUM
July 8th, 2008 at 4:03 am
