mamma mia

Agnetha, Björn, Benny and Anni-Frid showed us the fire within their collective soul and made their fans lose control singing along in Italian with their favorite Swedes. This marimba-flavored maternal masochistic melody was written by Benny Andersson, Björn Ulvaeus & Stig Anderson. Stig came up with the title, and Björn and Benny did the rest. Ushering in Abba-mania, it spent ten weeks at the top of the Australian charts and hit number one in Britain, Germany, and Ireland. In the UK and Ireland, it knocked 'Bohemian Rhapsody' (which also used the lyric "Mamma mia") off of the top of the chart. The song has inspired a musical (that has grossed two billion worldwide) and a film; and is undoubtedly coming to a glee club near you.

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, o-o-o-oh

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 the 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, o-o-o-oh

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
