ONCE UPON A TIME
Mama Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And everything fell in place for me.
The fashion of passion I rationed with caution
Because of the notion the potion of passion
Had never been passed to me.
But since it was Sunday and sunny I went for a stroll.
But peanuts and pigeons and people put me in a hole.
A blessing refreshing in you did unfold,
Once was a time I thought that love could be sold or bought
And everything fell in place for me.
The fashion of passion I rationed with caution
Because of the notion the potion of passion
Had never been passed to me.
But now that you're by my side,
I find that I feel so satisfied,
Somebody must have lied to me.
In Mama's song "Once Upon A Time", the singer reflects on their past beliefs and experiences with love. The song begins with the singer admitting that they once thought love could be easily bought or sold, and that everything would fall into place for them. The singer then speaks about how they used to ration their passion with caution, due to the idea that they had never been given the "potion of passion". However, on a sunny Sunday stroll, the singer meets someone who changes their perspective on love. This person serves as a blessing, refreshing the singer's soul and dispelling any depressing or distressing thoughts.
The song then goes back to the chorus, repeating the idea that the singer used to believe love could be bought or sold, but now with the presence of this new person, they have come to realize that somebody must have lied to them. The song ends with the singer expressing how satisfied they feel with this new person by their side.
Overall, the song serves as a commentary on the misconceptions and mistakes people make in regards to love. The singer acknowledges that they were once misguided in their beliefs, but through a chance encounter, they were able to see things in a new light.
Line by Line Meaning
Once was a time I thought that love could be sold or bought
At one point, I believed that love was a commodity that could be traded or purchased, and this misguided belief led me to believe that all of my relationships would fall easily into place.
And everything fell in place for me.
I thought that because I believed that love could be bought, I would have no trouble finding it and having all the pieces of my life fit together easily.
The fashion of passion I rationed with caution
I was careful to limit my emotional investment in past relationships because I didn't want to become too attached to someone who might not reciprocate my feelings.
Because of the notion the potion of passion had never been passed to me.
I believed that I had never experienced real, deep love, and that the feeling of being in love was forever beyond my grasp.
But since it was Sunday and sunny I went for a stroll.
On a bright and beautiful Sunday, I decided to take a walk and enjoy the day.
But peanuts and pigeons and people put me in a hole.
Little annoyances and obstacles in my path brought me down and made me feel low.
A blessing refreshing in you did unfold,
When I met you, something miraculous and unexpected happened – I felt uplifted and renewed.
Dispelling depressing distressing thoughts from my soul.
All of the negative thoughts and feelings that had been weighing me down were instantly lifted by your presence.
Once was a time I thought that love could be sold or bought
I used to think that love was something I could purchase or trade for, believing that it was an easy feeling to come by.
And everything fell in place for me.
Because of this, I assumed that everything would naturally align for me, without the need for hard work or real connection.
The fashion of passion I rationed with caution
I was careful and guarded with my emotions, not wanting to get too attached to someone I wasn't sure would feel the same way.
Because of the notion the potion of passion had never been passed to me.
I had convinced myself that real love would never come my way, and that that was just my lot in life.
But now that you're by my side,
But now that I have you in my life, all of those negative thoughts and beliefs have been dispelled.
I find that I feel so satisfied,
Instead, I feel fulfilled and complete in a way that I never have before.
Somebody must have lied to me.
All of my previous beliefs and misconceptions about love now seem like falsehoods, and I'm grateful to have been proven wrong.

Stop, stop telling me what to do-o
Don't, don't treat me like a child of two-o
No, I know that you want what's best
Please, but mother please give it a rest
… Stop, don't, no
Please
Stop, don't, no
Please
Stop, don't, no
Please
Mama, I'm a big girl now
… Once upon a time when I was just a kid
You never let me do just what the older kids did
But lose that laundry list of what you won't allow
'Cause mama, I'm a big girl now
… Once upon a time I used to play with toys
But now I'd rather play around with older boys
So if I get a hicky please don't have a cow
'Cause mama, I'm a big girl now
… Ma, I gotta tell you that without a doubt
I get my best dancing lessons from yo-ou
You're the one who taught me how to twist and shout
Because you shout non-stop and you're so twisted to-o
Ooh
… Once I used to fidget 'cause I just sat home
But now I'm just like Gidget, and I gotta get to Rome
So say arrivederci, toodle-loo, and ciao
'Cause mama I'm a big girl now, whoa
… Stop, don't, no
Please
Stop, don't, no
Please
Stop, don't, no
Please
Mama, I'm a big girl now
… Hey mama
Say mama
… Once upon a time I was a shy young thing
Could barely walk and talk so much as dance and sing
But let me hit that stage I wanna take my bow
'Cause mama, I'm a big girl now
… Whoa, once upon a time I used to dress up Ken
But now that I'm a woman I like bigger men
And I don't need a Barbie doll to show me how
'Cause mama I'm a big girl now, ooh
… Ma, you always taught me what was right from wrong
And now I just wanna give it a try
Mama, I'm been in a nest for far to long
So please give a push and mama watch me fly
Watch me fly
… Show off
… Some day I will meet a man you won't condemn
And we will have some kids and you can torture them
But let me be a star before I take that vow
'Cause mama, I'm a big girl now, whoa
… Mama, I'm a big girl now
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Mama, I'm a big girl
Ooh, such a big big girl (woo)
… I'm a big girl now, whoa (Stop, don't, no, please)
(Stop, don't, no, please) whoa
(Stop, don't, no, please)
Mama, I'm a big girl now
