Yeah
You have so many relationships in this life
Only one or two will last
You go through all the pain and strife
Then you turn your back and they're gone so fast
Oh yeah
Oh
So hold on the ones who really care
In the end they'll be the only ones there
And when you get old and start losing your hair
Can you tell me who will still care
Can you tell me who will still care?
Oh care

The lyrics of the song Mmmbop by Hanson address the fleeting nature of relationships and finding true companionship in life. The singer reflects on the different relationships that they’ve had in their life and concludes that only few will last. The pain and struggles that come with investing in relationships are inevitable, but the singer advises that one should keep holding onto the ones that really matter because they will be the only ones who will be there in the end. The chorus of the song, which is entirely made up of the nonsensical word “Mmmbop,” implies that just like relationships, time also moves quickly and before we know it, things that once seemed ever-present are gone in the blink of an eye. The chorus represents how quickly things in life can pass us by and how we should cherish every moment of our lives.
The lyrics shift to growing plants, a metaphor for the unpredictability of life. The singer suggests that we should plant different kinds of flowers and wait to see which one grows best. However, it never reveals which type of flower will grow, a nod to the unpredictability of life. The song ends with a repetition of the chorus and the phrase, “You don’t know,” implying that we can never predict what will happen in our lives.

You have so many relationships in this life
You have many connections with people throughout your life
Only one or two will last
Few will remain by your side in the long run
You go through all the pain and strife
You endure hardships and difficulties
Then you turn your back and they're gone so fast
Suddenly, those you counted on disappear
So hold on the ones who really care
Keep close those who truly value you
In the end they'll be the only ones there
When all else fails, they'll be the only support you have
And when you get old and start losing your hair
As you age and face changes in life
Can you tell me who will still care
Will anyone still cherish you?
Mmmbop, ba duba dop
Silly nonsensical lyrics
Said oh yeah
Expression of excitement
Plant a seed, plant a flower, plant a rose
Grow anything
You can plant any one of those
It's a matter of random chance
Keep planting to find out which one grows
Continue to put in effort to see what blossoms
It's a secret no one knows
The outcome is unknown
In an mmmbop they're gone
Disappearance happens in a blink of an eye
In an mmmbop they're not there
Suddenly, people disappear
Until you lose your hair
Until you reach old age
But you don't care, yeah
You won't mind because you'll have made peace with it
Can you tell me? oh
Can you answer?
No you can't 'cause you don't know
No one knows the answer
You say you can but you don't know
You have no idea
Say you can but you don't know
Claim you have an answer when you don't
You don't know
The uncertainty of life

@janmenzinga
If you realise that they were 11, 13 and 16 years old when this song came out, it's obvious that they were way ahead of their time and super creative.
@samueljohnson2465
And they started writing it at an even younger age.
@abigailcaraballo2623

@anotheryoutube4635
If you're an actual musician and you watch this now, it's very clear that they weren't the musicians playing the music on this song.
