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
"Mamma Mia" is a song by the Swedish pop group ABBA about a woman who has been in love with a man whom she's been cheated on since they met. She decides to end the relationship and move on, but every time she sees him, she loses control and forgets everything. She confesses that she's been angry and sad about the things he's done, that she's told him they were through many times before, and that she can't count the times he's slammed the door and come back.
The chorus of the song repeats the title phrase "Mamma Mia," which is a slang expression used to express surprise, excitement, or apprehension. It's also the name of an Italian restaurant in Stockholm that ABBA member Benny Andersson knew of, but the song's lyrics don't contain any reference to Italian cuisine. The song's central theme is the singer's struggle to resist rekindling the relationship with the man who's broken her heart.
In summary, "Mamma Mia" is a catchy, upbeat pop song with underlying themes of heartbreak, regret, and the challenges of letting go of a toxic relationship. It's a timeless classic that has been covered by numerous artists and featured in several films, stage productions and TV shows.

I been cheated by you since you know when
I have been betrayed by you for a long time
So I made up my mind, it must come to an end
I have decided it is time for this to stop
Look at me now, will I ever learn?
I am questioning my own judgment
I don't know how but I suddenly lose control
I feel powerless and overwhelmed
There's a fire within my soul

One more look and I forget everything
Another glance makes me forget all the hurt and pain

And when you go, when you slam the door
Even when you leave angrily
I think you know that you won't be away too long
I believe deep down you feel the same way I do
You know that I'm not that strong
I am not as tough as I appear
Mamma mia, even if I say 'Bye, bye'
Even if I try to say goodbye
Leave me now or never
You can leave me now or stay forever
Mamma mia, it's a game we play
Our relationship is like a game with back and forth
'Bye bye' doesn't mean forever
Saying 'goodbye' is not a final goodbye
