I've been cheated by you since I don't know when
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, whoa
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, whoa
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, 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
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
About This Song
"Mamma Mia" is a conflicted love song about being irresistibly drawn back to someone who has repeatedly hurt you, capturing the frustrating cycle of knowing better but being unable to resist. The lyrics express the protagonist's internal struggle between rational self-preservation and overwhelming emotional attraction, with the Italian exclamation "Mamma Mia" conveying both exasperation and helpless surrender. Musically, it features ABBA's signature pop sound with layered harmonies, a driving disco-influenced beat, and an instantly memorable chorus that builds infectious energy. The song's distinctive appeal lies in its honest portrayal of romantic weakness and self-awareness, combined with an irrepressibly upbeat musical arrangement that makes heartbreak feel almost celebratory. It became one of ABBA's most beloved hits and later inspired the title of the hugely successful musical and film franchise.
