PussyCat Dolls-When I grow Up?

Question

The songs lyrics are just terrible. Just look and you'll see what I mean:

Boys call you s**y (What's up, s**y)

And you don’t care what they say

See, every time you turn around

They screamin' 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 the boys 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]

But be careful what you wish for

'Cause you just might get it

But you just might get it

But 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]

When I grow up

I wanna be famous

I wanna be a star

I wanna be in movies

[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

[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

This gives such a bad example to young girls - do you understand that the lyrics are just as bad as guns and killings on other songs. So don't they want young people to have an education, something to give them a drive instead of just being 'famous' so that they can all these things: Boys, boobies, groupies and just being...a total s**t.

I want this to be banned this song but obviously people don't care about the influential part of these lyrics...

Answer 1

This is why i don't listen to modern music.

It's all pretty meaningless to me.

Answer 2

I KNOW I DON'T LIKE THAT SONG EITHER

I ONLY LIKE THERE FIRST ALBUM!

Answer 3

omg i soooo agree, i've actually seen this video being played on nickelodeon!! its digusting, all they do is grind up and down polls & dance with their b***s. thats why they're famous!  

Answer 4

I agree wid you..I hate that song.its like they were encouraging young ones to focus on being famous...and be a "hot chick" so everyone shall notice you..T_T..and what I hate most is the one of those lyrics:

"And I promised myself that I’d do anything Anything at all for the boys to notice me" its annoying!!!

Answer 5

Listen to when i grow up by Garbage so much better :)

Answer 6

Amen to that! I think it's catchy but with crappy lyrics.  

Answer 7

*groans* don't like it then don't listen to it. I don't think of it as bad as all, they're saying when they were young they promised themselves they would be famous and be in the public eye. The clothes are questionable but that's about it.

Answer 8

I love Pussycat dolls, i think all they're songs are good :D

x

Answer 9

I agree with you.!!!

Answer 10

And you're question is?

But I agree, it's ridiculous, along with many, many other songs around right now that young girls listen to.

Answer 11

What teenage girl growing up doesn't think about having boobies, boys, wanting to be a star, famous, etc.??? It's a harmless song really. And if you don't like it, just don't listen to it. It's that simple.

What people should be more concerned about is they way they dress and dance in these videos.

Answer 12

hiya....

omg i love the pussycat dolls

cant wait for the single when i grow up to come out

and i cant wait for there album too....

=}

x

and I'm going to see them in concert

there great singers

i guess some ppl are just a tad bit jealous hmmmm?!!!

Answer 13

but they're on mtv not disney channel. ppl who work for mtv dont usually appeal to little girls

Answer 14

dnt 2 much care 4 the song but the video rocks!!! well really the dancing part @ the end

Answer 15

Oh stop your whining, its only a bludy song.

I doubt the actual intelligent young people will pay attention to the lyrics, and the ones that do have no chance of a career anyway because they're too impressionable.
