Va Va Voom
Minaj Nicki 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 ya' blessed
Let me feel up on yo' chest
Flex in'
You da man, you da man one hundred grand
The same ole' game blow
Yes I play it everywhere
Come baby go there, stay there
Let me show how I run it to the playground
Come and get this va va voom voom

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
It you got it, you got it
You got that boom boom

If you want it, I'm gonna be
Va va voom voom




It you got it, you got it
You got that boom boom
