Va Va Voom
Nicki Minaj Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Just met a boy, just met a boy when
He could come inside of my play pen
'Cause he look like a superstar in the makin'
So I think that I'm going in for the takin'

Hear through the grapevine that he cakin'
We could shoot a movie, he could the tapin'
Boom-boom pow, this thing be shakin'
I ain't even tryin' to find out who he datin'

'Cause I know that he got a wife at home
But I need just one night alone
If he keep playin' them kiddin' games
I'm a runaway-eh, I'm a runaway-eh-eh

I-I-I wanna give you one last option
I-I-I wanna give you one last chance
If-if you're looking for the main attraction
Just hold on tight and let me do my dance

If you want it, I'm gonna be
Va-va-voom-voom
If you got it, you got it
You got that boom-boom

If you want it, I'm gonna be
Va-va-voom-voom
If you got it, you got it
You got that boom-boom

Just met a boy, just met a boy when
He could become my little problem
Cause he look like he modellin' clothes in Dublin
So I think that he gettin' that green a goblin

Heard through the grapevine that he hang low
We could shoot a movie, could bang like Rambo
Boom-boom pow, this thing's so bingo
Wondering if he can understand my lingo

'Cause I know, he got a wife at home
But I need just one night alone
If he keep playin' them kiddin' games
I'm a runaway-eh, I'm a runaway-eh-eh

I-I-I wanna give you one last option
I-I-I wanna give you one last chance
If-if you're looking for the main attraction
Just hold on tight and let me do my dance

If you want it, I'm gonna be
Va-va-voom-voom
If you got it, you got it
You got that boom-boom

If you want it, I'm gonna be
Va-va-voom-voom
If you got it, you got it
You got that boom-boom

Boy, I'm in this club slow-mo
Don't mind if I do
And I can tell you're feelin' me from the jump
I wanna ride too
You got that hot shit, boy you're blessed
Let me feel up on your chest
Flexin'
You the man, you the man, one hundred grand
The same old game go
Yes, I play it very well
Come baby lay it down, let me stay down
Let me show how I run ting in my playground
Come and get this va-va-voom-voom (woo)

I-I-I wanna give you one last option
I-I-I wanna give you one last chance
If-if you're looking for the main attraction
Just hold on tight and let me do my dance

If you want it, I'm gonna be
Va-va-voom-voom
If you got it, you got it
You got that boom-boom

If you want it, I'm gonna be
Va-va-voom-voom
If you got it, you got it
You got that boom-boom

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Nicki Minaj’s “Va Va Voom” express the singer's desire for a certain boy whom she met recently. The song discusses Nicki’s sexual desire, with lyrics such as “He could come inside of my playpen” and “If you want it, I'm gonna be va-va-voom-voom, If you got it, you got it, You got that boom-boom.” Nicki acknowledges that the boy has a wife at home, but she is willing to have a one-night stand with him, stating “But I need just one night alone. If he keep playin' them kiddin' games, I'm a runaway-eh, I'm a runaway-eh-eh.” In the second verse, Nicki mentions that the boy looks like a model and could be making a lot of money, but she wonders if he can understand her “lingo.”


The chorus of the song talks about how Nicki is willing to be the main attraction for the boy and that she has the “va-va-voom” factor. The song is ultimately about Nicki’s confidence in her own sexuality and her willingness to go after what she wants.
