You just put one foot in front of the other
That's what you used to say to me
When it's hard you just have to be stronger
That's what you wanted me to be
Catch myself moving like you used to
Doing the things that you would do
Oh when It hurts I call you
Cause you know what to do
When I grow up
I don't need to be famous
Don't need to be a star
When I grow up
I don't need to make movies
Or drive fancy cars
When I grow up
I wanna be strong I wanna be great I wanna be true
If I could have anything in life
When I grow up
I wanna be just like you
Thought I'd get it by the time I got older
You did it all so naturally
Every day gets a little bit harder
I just want you to be proud of me
Catch myself moving like you used to
Doing the things that you would do
Oh when It hurts I call you
'cause you know what to do
When I grow up
I don't need to be famous
Don't need to be a star
When I grow up
I don't need to make movies
Or drive fancy cars
When I grow up
I wanna be strong I wanna be great I wanna be true
If I could have anything in life
When I grow up
I wanna be just like you
I wish it could be
Never let go
Hear you say oh my darling
Hold me
Never let go
Without you I'm broken hearted
When I grow up
I don't need to be famous
Don't need to be a star
When I grow up
I don't need to make movies
Or drive fancy cars
When I grow up
I wanna be strong I wanna be great I wanna be true
If I could have anything in life
When I grow up
I wanna be just like you
When I grow up
