Copy and paste what, some text inside of a bubble, or did you tap to select the entire bubble? When you press and hold in the message, do that select and individual word? If you select an individual word when typing, then tap to copy, it will copy that individual word. Tap again, and it will select the entire group. If you have the cursor somewhere in a sentence and tap once, it will give you the option to Select All.
