Verse 1
I've been cheated by you since I don't know whenSo I made up my mind, it must come to an endLook at me now, will I ever learn?I don't know how, but I suddenly lose controlThere's a fire within my soulPre-Chorus
Just one look and I can hear a bell ringOne more look and I forget everything, woahChorus
Mamma mia, here I go againMy, my, how can I resist you?Mamma mia, does it show again?My, my, just how much I've missed youYes, I've been broken-heartedBlue since the day we partedWhy, why did I ever let you go?Mamma mia, now I really knowMy, my, I could never let you goVerse 2
I've been angry and sad about things that you doI can't count all the times that I've told you we're throughAnd when you go, when you slam the doorI think you know that you won't be away too longYou know that I'm not that strongPre-Chorus
Just one look and I can hear a bell ringOne more look and I forget everything, woahChorus
Mamma mia, here I go againMy, my, how can I resist you?Mamma mia, does it show againMy, my, just how much I've missed you?Yes, I've been broken-heartedBlue since the day we partedWhy, why did I ever let you go?Mamma mia, even if I sayBye-bye, leave me now or neverMamma mia, it's a game we play"Bye-bye" doesn't mean foreverMamma mia, here I go againMy, my, how can I resist you?Mamma mia, does it show againMy, my, just how much I've missed you?Yes, I've been broken-heartedBlue since the day we partedWhy, why did I ever let you go?Mamma mia, now I really knowMy, my, I could never let you goWhat the song means
A person repeatedly breaks up with their partner but keeps returning because they can't resist them. Despite trying to leave, one look makes them forget everything. The song explores the cycle of a passionate but unhealthy relationship where "goodbye" never means forever.
