Who I Wanna Be lyrics

[Verse 1]
(Yo!)
I'm just a girl from a small town
Just spreading my love around (Yeah)
But I should be up in L.A
Or in London with Jessie J
I wanna sing with Beyoncé
Wanna spit that fire like Lil' Wayne (Yo)
And I could do any genre
Just tell me that you wanna wanna

[Pre-Chorus]
Lay that beat down while I sing along
(Yeah, yeah) We can party till dawn
Rage all night until the morn'
Write the chorus and a verse or two
But if you knew the truth

[Chorus]
I always wished that I could dance like Madonna (Yeah)
Shake it like Rihanna
Have them curves like Nicki
And the voice of Ricky
I had that swagger like T-Pain
(Yo) I could go insane
Throw some glitter in the air
Have Ke$ha's crazy hair (Yeah, yeah)
[Post-Chorus]
And no matter where I go
They're on my radio (Yo, yo)
Showin' me the ways
To my, my great escape
Since I was young
I felt that bass and drum
It was always clear to me
This is who I wanna be (What?)

[Verse 2]
See, I was born for this
'Cause it flows through my fingertips (That's right)
Writing like I was Taylor Swift (Yo)
And maybe she could lay a verse on this
And I could go to the Grammy's
Holding hands with Adele and the family
But I gotta get that one hit song
And you can come along, if we just

[Pre-Chorus]
Lay that beat down while I sing along
(Yeah, yeah) We can party till dawn
Haters gon' hate but we'll prove them wrong (Yo)
Write the chorus and a verse or two
But if you only knew (Hey, what?)
[Chorus]
I always wished that I could dance like Madonna (Wooh)
Shake it like Rihanna
Have them curves like Nicki
And the voice of Ricky
Had that swagger like T-Pain
(Yo) I could go insane
Throw some glitter in the air
(Ke$ha) Have Ke$ha's crazy hair

[Post-Chorus]
And no matter where I go
They're on my radio (Yeah, yo)
Showin' me the ways
To my, my great escape (What?)
Since I was young
I felt that bass and drum
It was always clear to me
This is who I wanna be

[Bridge]
Doesn't matter where I go (No, no)
Because I know (Yeah, yeah)
Who I'll always be
Yeah, I'm gonna be me (Wooh)
Doesn't matter where I go
Doesn't matter what I do
I'll still be me, but you
[Chorus]
You know that you wish you could
Dance like Madonna
Shake it like Rihanna
Have them curves like Nicki
And the voice of Ricky
Had that swagger like T-Pain
(Wooh) I could go insane
Throw some glitter in the air (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Have Ke$ha's crazy hair (Ke$ha)

[Post-Chorus]
And no matter where I go
They're on my radio (That's right)
Showin' me the ways
To my, my great escape (What?)
Since I was young
I felt that bass and drum
It was always clear to me
This is who I wanna be

[Outro]
See, I was born for this
'Cause it flows through my fingertips (Tip, tip, tip...)
This is who I wanna be
(Wooh)
(Yeah, yeah, Ke$ha)
