When I grow up
I wanna be good
Wanna be like Mike
Wanna put it through the hoop
Wanna stand up tall
With my head held high
Make my mama proud
Make my daddy smile

Chorus:
When I grow up
Well, if I ever do
What I really really want
Is a girl like you

When I grow up
I wanna be strong
Go to school, work hard
Stay up all night long
I could be a hero
I could save the world
I could get me a job
I could get me a girl

Chorus:

When I grow up
If I get to be a man
I will drive up to your door
I will take your little hand
We can run our own life
We can make a stand
You can be a real woman
I can be a real man

Chorus:
