Mamma Mia
Original Cast 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 lyrics of the song Mamma Mia by the Original Cast reflect the feelings of a woman who has been cheated by her lover multiple times. Despite having made up her mind to end the relationship, she constantly finds herself losing control and falling back into the same patterns. The song is an exploration of the emotions that crop up when we find ourselves in a relationship that is difficult to let go of, even though we know it is not good for us. The chorus of the song is a plea for help as the singer admits that she cannot resist her lover and how much she has missed him. The lyrics express both regret for letting go of the relationship, as well as the feeling of being trapped in a cycle of emotional attachment.

I been cheated by you since you know when
I have been deceived by you from a long time ago
So I made up my mind, it must come to an end
I decided to put an end to this situation
Look at me now, will I ever learn?
I question my capacity to learn from my past mistakes
I don't know how but I suddenly lose control
I cannot explain why, but my emotions overwhelm me
There's a fire within my soul
I feel a passionate and intense emotion inside me
Just one look and I can hear a bell ring
One glance from you has a powerful effect on me
One more look and I forget everything
Another look from you can make me forget everything else
Mamma mia, here I go again
Oh my, I am falling for you again
My my, how can I resist you?
I am powerless to resist your charm
Mamma mia, does it show again
Is it obvious that I am falling for you again?
My my, just how much I've missed you?
I realize how much I have missed you
Yes, I've been brokenhearted
I suffered a lot from our separation
Blue since the day we parted
I have been sad and depressed ever since we split up
Why, why did I ever let you go?
I regret ending our relationship
Mamma mia, now I really know
I realize now how I truly feel about you
My my, I could never let you go
I know now that I cannot let you go
I've been angry and sad about things that you do
I have been affected by your actions and it made me angry and sad
I can't count all the times that I've told you 'we're through'
I lost track of how many times I declared our relationship over
And when you go, when you slam the door
When you leave and close the door violently
I think you know that you won't be away too long
I believe that you will come back soon
You know that I'm not that strong
You are aware that I am not strong enough to resist you
Mamma mia, even if I say 'Bye bye, leave me now or never'
Even if I try to push you away and say goodbye
Mamma mia, it's a game we play
Our relationship is like a game we keep playing
'Bye bye' doesn't mean forever
Saying goodbye does not mean we will never be together again

They really should professionally archive more musical performances more for history's sake!
It would be great if it was custom to do a recording with each new cast of a musical. Even a bonus recording of the opening + last night! So many moments and performances missed across the world.
Bradley Allan Zarr
They do! The New York Performing Arts Library at Lincoln Center has almost every Broadway show professionally recorded from about the 70’s onward. There are strict rules of course. But it exists!

MiserablesMoments I hadn't realized. Good to know. 😉

Have any of the casts been recorded cos if they have I will buy the DVD!
Dylan Smith
Wahid Rahman actually, you can view them at the Lincoln Center archives, but you need to have some sort of reason for why you want to view the filmed show.

Pamela LaBarbiera out! Thanks! That’s background information I was unaware of. I research the topic of how it all got started and there’s little info. At least available to me. I’m also utilize that service before the YouTube boom. I remember before YouTube there was a big trading market. Someone would say have A real from the original production of follies for example and they be willing to trade for someone’s footage from seesaw. A lot of that stuff is now available on YouTube. I’m glad because I never had anything to trade

I’m usually super against illegal filming, but this was totally warranted. We were robbed of a cast recording and there’s such limited licensed footage of this production out there.
Ryan Oliveira
Truly one of those shows that when done right brings a smile to your face. So fun doing this show 3 years ago as my first college musical production.

I recently saw the movie for a second time and was cringing during every musical number. It made me realize how awesome the stage version must have been. And i see, yes. Excellent voices, faithful tempos, nothing to cringe at here. Thank you for sharing!

The Broadway show was wonderful. Saw Louise Pitre twice and came away in love with her and ABBA. On the way out of the parking garage we saw her walking away from the theater and we got her attention. She was charming, so nice. I was really upset about the movie and as I expected it sucked.
