Mamma Mia
Company/Siobhán McCarthy 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
Whoa-whoa
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
I should not have let you go
I was angry and sad when I knew we were through
I can't count all the times I have cried over you
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
Whoa-whoa
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 should not have let you go
What the hell are you all doing here?
Well, I'd love to stop and chat but I have to go and clean out my handbag, or something!
Age does not wither her!
I was expecting a rather stout matron!
Nah, she's still got it!
Just one look and I can hear a bell ring
One more look and I forget everything
Whoa-whoa
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 should not have let you go
The lyrics of "Mamma Mia" by Siobhán McCarthy showcase the mixed emotions of the singer who regrets letting someone go but also experiences anger and sadness over their breakup. The song delves into the emotional upheaval that one feels after a heartbreak and how one can still miss and crave the person who has hurt them.

However, despite trying to move on, she can't help but feel the fire within her soul reigniting every time she sees her ex-lover. She mentions losing control and forgetting everything with just one look from her ex. As the chorus goes, "Mamma mia, here I go again, how can I resist you?", the singer shows the vulnerability and weakness she feels in front of her ex.
