Wonka can refer to the following:
This article is about the fictional character. For the candy company, see, The Willy Wonka Candy Company.
Willy Wonka is a major character of Roald Dahl's 1964 children's novel Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and the film adaptations that followed. The book and the 1971 film adaption both vividly depict an eccentric Wonka — a feature arising from his creative genius. He bewilders the other characters with his antics, but Charlie enjoys Wonka's behavior. In the 2005 film adaption, Willy Wonka's behavior is viewed more as a (sympathetic) character flaw.
Candy maker Willy Wonka has hidden five Golden Tickets amongst his Wonka Bars. The finders of these special tickets will be given a full tour of his tightly guarded candy factory as well as a lifetime supply of chocolate. The contest sets off a global craze with everyone desperately seeking out the tickets. They are eventually found by five different children from around the world.
Wonka greets the winning children and their guardians at the factory gates. He immediately shows his unpredictability by slowly hobbling towards the gate with a cane, then pretending to fall, only to do a somersault and spring back to his feet with a flourish. Once he and his visitors are inside, Wonka requires each to sign a contract before the tour can begin. The tour progresses though many fantastic rooms and labs in the factory, all run by Wonka's crew of Oompa Loompas. Along the way, four of the children misbehave against Wonka's warnings, resulting in serious but comical consequences and removing them from the tour.
You tell me that you need to spend sometime alone
You tell me that you think it's best if I'd go home now
I get my coat from off the floor, I'm out the door
Walking home alone, my love has left
My head, my heart all torn apart
My mind's exploding
Crying my eyes out over you
It must be hard for you to believe that I might love you
Just try to understand I just want you to want me too
You made me fall in love again, you angel
How you take my breath away, I live for you
It must be hard for you to believe that I might love you anyway
Just try to understand I just wanted you to want me too
