Those words are informal contractions of "Want to" and "Going to" they are used in songs and informal speaking.
I wanna love you = I Want to Love You"
I'm gonna tell you something = I'm Going to tell you something.
There is another word "Gotta" that means "Have To"
I Gotta go to the bathroom = I Have to go to the bathroom
And the last One "Ain't" that means "I am not" "You/they are not" "he/she/it is not"
"I ain't going" = "I am not going"
"You ain't happy" = "You are not happy"
Remember, these words are only used in Informal speaking and songs, it is not correct to use them in other situations.
I hope I have been able to help you with your questions
Enjoy your day! :)

A sloppy and lazy way of saying "want to" (or "want a") and "going to" (in the future sense).
I suggest putting this in the "know it but don't bother using it" category, as it's a sign of poor English.
