Song #3 – When I Grow Up
Sung by Alyss Heart
Alyss:
V.1:
They call me simple
Don't believe the things I say.
I'm to be seen, don't make a sound
Unless they call my name.
They call me simple
Don't believe the things I say.
I'm to be seen, don't make a sound
Unless they call my name.
I've told them my confessions
All I did was make a bad impression.
Now I promise myself I'll do anything
Anything at all to make them believe me.
Bridge:
They have been complaining
They don't know my name is famous.
I'll go ahead, and say what I wanna say.
They don't wanna know the real Alyss
Want them to know I am a princess.
Then they are going to see, that one day
Chorus:
When I grow up,
I'm gonna be the Queen
I'm gonna be the star
Gonna be a sensation!
When I grow up,
Gonna return to my world
End Redd's wrath
With my imagination!
When I grow up,
I'll be me
Gonna be seen
You know what I mean!
When I grow up,
Fresh and clean
Number one queen
When I step out on the scene!
Be careful what you wish for
Coz you just might get it!
You just might get it!
You just might get it!
Be careful what you wish for
Coz you just might get it!
You just might get it!
You just might get it!
V.2:
They're always telling me I'm silly
Don't wanna hear the real life-story.
No matter what they say, I'm still a Heart
If they won't listen, I'll take my story far.
Bridge:
They have been complaining
They don't know my name is famous.
I'll go ahead, and say what I wanna say.
They don't wanna know the real Alyss
Want them to know I am a princess.
Then they are going to see, that one day
Chorus:
When I grow up,
I'm gonna be the Queen
I'm gonna be the star
Gonna be a sensation!
When I grow up,
Gonna return to my world
End Redd's wrath
With my imagination!
When I grow up,
I'll be me
Gonna be seen
You know what I mean!
When I grow up,
Fresh and clean
Number one queen
When I step out on the scene!
Be careful what you wish for
Coz you just might get it!
You just might get it!
You just might get it!
Be careful what you wish for
Coz you just might get it!
You just might get it!
You just might get it!
V.3:
I know they're staring at me
"Something's strange about her".
My story's true, not lying to you,
It gets better and better.
You can write about me,
Wonderland's a topic.
I know you believe me, believe me,
Finally, they'll get it, oh!
Chorus:
When I grow up,
I'm gonna be the Queen
I'm gonna be the star
Gonna be a sensation!
When I grow up,
Gonna return to my world
End Redd's wrath
With my imagination!
When I grow up,
I'll be me
Gonna be seen
You know what I mean!
When I grow up,
Fresh and clean
Number one queen
When I step out on the scene!
Be careful what you wish for
Coz you just might get it!
You just might get it!
You just might get it!
Be careful what you wish for
Coz you just might get it!
You just might get it!
You just might get it!
(Repeat chorus)
My. Flipping. Word. This is only the third song, but it was the hardest to rewrite, I kid you not. :o I'd say this is song is set around the time when Alyss tells Reverend Charles Dodgeson aka Lewis Carroll about who she really is and, with his help, everyone will finally believe her.
Next: Everyone knows Redd is a Killer Queen, but let's hear it from Bibwit Harte, singing Killer Queen! X3
Reviews and requests are welcome! :3
Seeya! ;)
