Va Va Boom
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 song Va Va Voom describe a woman's desire for a man who has caught her eye. She has just met this guy, who looks like a superstar in the making, and she is going for the taking. However, she has heard through the grapevine that he is rich and has a wife at home. But she needs just one night alone, and if he keeps playing games, she is going to run away. The chorus emphasizes her physical attraction to the man, with her saying that if he wants her, she is going to be "va va voom voom." The second verse continues the story, with the man becoming her little problem as he looks like he models clothes in Dublin and has heard, through the grapevine, that he hangs low. She wonders if he can understand her lingo, and she reiterates that she knows he has a wife, but she needs one night alone with him.
