Mamma Mia
Darin & Prophet of 7Lions Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I saw her sitting by herself that night
The room was rich with her perfume
Adjust my tie to get my swagger right
I think I'm 'bout to make a move

Pulling me close with her eyes
My body is losing control
Temperature starting to rise
When we touch – sparks
Makes me wanna scream

Mamma mia
You work it so good that it's bad
Mamma mia
These feelings that I never had
I can't get you out of my skin like a drug
Falling way deeper than love
Mamma mia
Mamma mia

I think I'm drunk just from a single kiss
And I don't even know her name
She whispered to me what the reason is
Said she put pure love in my vein

Pulling me close with her eyes
My body is losing control
Temperature starting to rise
When we touch – sparks
Makes me wanna scream

Mamma mia
You work it so good that it's bad
Mamma mia
These feelings that I never had
I can't get you out of my skin like a drug
Falling way deeper than love
Mamma mia
Mamma mia

Dame un beso
If you say so
Watch her kill him when she hopping up the range road
One kiss gets you hot and space probed
One night, now you giving up your safe code
Overdosing off her potion and the body work
Hangover, love gotta hurt
Make it taste like a tequila
Now screaming out, mamma mia

Mamma mia
You work it so good that it's bad
Mamma mia
These feelings that I never had
I can't get you out of my skin like a drug
Falling way deeper than love
Mamma mia
Mamma mia

Mamma mia
You work it so good that it's bad
Mamma mia
These feelings that I never had
I can't get you out of my skin like a drug
Falling way deeper than love
Mamma mia
Mamma mia

Mamma mia
Mamma mia




Mamma mia
Mamma mia

Overall Meaning

The song "Mamma Mia" by Darin & Prophet of 7Lions is about a man who is deeply attracted to a woman he sees at a party. He is enchanted by her scent and decides to approach her, and they share a kiss. The man admits he is not in control of his body when he is around her, as her touch sets off sparks within him. He feels as though he is on a drug, and no matter how hard he tries, he cannot shake off the feeling of being enveloped by her.


The lyrics make use of the classic ABBA song title "Mamma Mia," which means "my mother" in Italian. However, in the context of the song, "Mamma Mia" is used as an exclamation to emphasize the intensity of the singer's feelings towards the woman. The phrase "you work it so good that it's bad" could refer to the woman's ability to manipulate and control the singer's emotions, and the line "Falling way deeper than love" suggests that the attraction is more than just physical.


Overall, "Mamma Mia" is a song about the intensity and unpredictability of romance, and how love can take over our minds and bodies, leaving us powerless to resist.

9 700 views? I think it only shows how many times I have listened to it :p Really love this song. I like how it's so catchy and it keeps playing in my head even when I'm not listening to it. This'll be the summer hit of 2014! I've been a fan of Darin since 2004, and he never lets his fans down. He comes back with new music and what's really amazing is that he keeps producing world class music! He's better than all singers out there. Älskar dig, Darin! <3
