Famous Lyrics by Scouting for Girls

Greatest Hits

2010

Staying in again on a Saturday night
I'm going to settle on the sofa and turn down the lights
I got 900 channels, but there's nothing to see
No wonder everybody thinks they should be on TV

We all want to be famous
Be a face on the screen
Read our name in the papers
Everybody wants to be on TV
(Nananannannnaanana)
Everybody wants to be on TV

Forget Audrey Hepburn, forget Bette Davis
I want to be known just for being famous
I can't act, I can't dance, I can't sing, can't you see?
But I'm young and I'm pretty and that's all that you need

We all want to be famous
Be a face on the screen
Read our name in the papers
Everybody wants to be on TV
(Nananannannnaanana)
Everybody wants to be like James Dean

I want to be the star tonight
And complain about fame in a story I sell to the news
I want to be the star tonight
Want to make the front page as I pose for the boys in the nude

We all want to be famous
Be a face on the screen
Read our name in the papers
Everybody wants to be like James Dean

We all want, we want to be famous
We all want to be like James Dean
We all want, we want to be famous
We all want to be on TV

We all want, we want to be famous
We all want to be like James Dean
We all want, we want to be famous
We all want to be on TV

We all want, we want to be famous
We all want to be like James Dean
