Mamma Mia
Abbacadabra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So I made up my mind, it must come to an end
Look at me now, will I ever learn?
I don't know how but I suddenly lose control
There's a fire within my soul
Just one look and I can hear a bell ring
One more look and I forget everything
Mamma mia, here I go again
My my, how can I resist you?
Mamma mia, does it show again
My my, just how much I've missed you?
Yes, I've been brokenhearted
Blue since the day we parted
Why, why did I ever let you go?
Mamma mia, now I really know
My my, I could never let you go
I've been angry and sad about things that you do
I can't count all the times that I've told you "we're through"
And when you go, when you slam the door
I think you know that you won't be away too long
You know that I'm not that strong
Just one look and I can hear a bell ring
One more look and I forget everything
[Chorus]
Yes, I've been brokenhearted
Blue since the day we parted
Why, why did I ever let you go?
Mamma mia, even if I say
"Bye bye, leave me now or never"
Mamma mia, it's a game we play
"Bye bye" doesn't mean forever
[Chorus]
Yes, I've been brokenhearted
Blue since the day we parted
Why, why did I ever let you go?
Mamma mia, now I really know
My my, I could never let you go
The song "Mamma Mia" by Abbacadabra is a catchy tune that tells a story of a woman who has been cheated in a relationship that has been ongoing since she can remember. She decides that enough is enough and that the relationship must end. But despite her best intentions, she can't seem to resist her former partner. With one look or another, she keeps forgetting why she left the relationship. Her soul burns with passion, and she can't help but express her feelings through the lyrics of the song. Throughout the verses, she reflects on her broken heart and remembers all the times that she's told her partner that they're through, but she cannot forget him. The chorus is a memorable part of the song that solidifies these feelings. She sings that she's been blue since the day they parted, and how much she's missed him and cannot let him go. Even if she tried, "bye-bye" doesn't mean "forever."
The lyrics of the song depict the classic struggle that many people face with a past relationship. The emotions are raw, and the message is clear. The singer is remembering the pain, and although she knows that the relationship should end and is not good for her, she can't seem to resist the charm that pulls her back. One of the interesting things about the song is that it was written in 1975 by the Swedish pop group ABBA. It became an international success, translated into several languages, and is now the title of a Broadway musical that features a medley of their songs. The song has become something of an anthem for those who've experienced a broken heart and reminder of the struggles of love.
