I Wanna Go
Helen Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I wanna be loved by you, just you
And nobody else but you
I wanna be loved by you, alone!
Boop-boop-a-doop!

I wanna kissed by you, just you
Nobody else but you
I wanna be kissed by you, alone!

Boop-boop, I couldn't aspire
To anything higher
Than, filled with desire
To make you my own!
Boop-boop-a-doop, boop-boop-a-doop!

I wanna be loved by you, just you
And nobody else but you
I wanna be loved by you, alone!

Aa-ah-um! Boop-boop-a-doop!

Daddle-at-dat-dat-dumb, I couldn't aspire
To anything higher
Than, filled with desire
To make you my own
Bup-bum, butle-doodle-dumb-bum!

I wanna be loved by you, just you
Nobody else but you




I wanna be loved by you, a-lup-a-dup-a-dup-a-dup!
Boop-boop-a-doop

McCarthy damn well deserved her Oscar nomination. One of the best comedic performances of all time!

She’s great

@Ryan Loftis I mean, with Octavia Spencer? I don’t think so.

R.R.R

Disagree, she wasn't the best but she was good

@Yeor Mahma Phoenix was great but comedy is as hard as drama.

Yea when McCarthy got her own movies her McCarthyism was way too exaggerated for my liking. I really like her role here because it was out there but also subtle
