When I grow I wanna be a star
I wanna sing and play guitar
Fall in love with a man, who loves me for who I am
When I grow up

When I grow up I wanna go to the Moon
I wanna fly on a broom
Take off into the sky, I won't even say goodbye
When I grow up

Is it too much to wanna be an astronaut who sails the seas
Is it too much to ask to be a kid forever?
And I know I'm too old to dream
And I should try to be something real
When I grow up

Wanna be a painter with my own store
And have a house by the shore
Make a mural in town square
With a book and read it there
When I grow up

Is it too much to wanna be the man inside of the TV
Is it too much to ask to be a kid forever?
And I know I'm too old to dream
And I should try to be something real

And I feel funny
And I can't get out of bed
Got no money
But I found you instead
And I'm not famous
But you're more than I ever dreamed

'Cause I don't need to be an astronaut who sails the sea
As long as I can just hold you forever
And I know I'm too old to dream
And I should try to be something real

And I don't need to be the man inside of the TV
As long as I can just hold you forever
And I know I'm too old to dream
And I should try to be something real
