Mama Lyrics
She used to be my only enemy and never let me free,
Catching me in places that I know I shouldn't be,
Every other day I crossed the line,
I didn't mean to be so bad,
I never thought you would
become the friend I never had.
Back then I didn't know why,
why you were misunderstood,
So now I see through your eyes,
all that you did was love,
Mama I love you, Mama I care,
Mama I love you, Mama my friend,
My friend
I didn't want to hear it then but
I'm not ashamed to say it now,
Every little thing you said and did was left for me,
I had a lot of time to think about,
about the way I used to be,
Never had a sense of my responsibility.
Back then I didn't know why,
why you were misunderstood,
So now I see through your eyes,
all that you did was love,
Mama I love you, Mama I care,
Mama I love you, Mama my friend, My friend
But now I'm sure I know why,
why you were misunderstood,
So now I see through your eyes,
all I can give you is love,
Mama I love you, Mama I care,
Mama I love you, Mama my friend,
My friend
Mama I love you, Mama I care,
Mama I love you, Mama my friend,
You're my friend
(repeat chorus 3 times and fade)
Catching me in places that I know I shouldn't be,
Every other day I crossed the line,
I didn't mean to be so bad,
I never thought you would
become the friend I never had.
why you were misunderstood,
So now I see through your eyes,
all that you did was love,
Mama I love you, Mama I care,
Mama I love you, Mama my friend,
My friend
I'm not ashamed to say it now,
Every little thing you said and did was left for me,
I had a lot of time to think about,
about the way I used to be,
Never had a sense of my responsibility.
why you were misunderstood,
So now I see through your eyes,
all that you did was love,
Mama I love you, Mama I care,
Mama I love you, Mama my friend, My friend
why you were misunderstood,
So now I see through your eyes,
all I can give you is love,
Mama I love you, Mama I care,
Mama I love you, Mama my friend,
My friend
Mama I love you, Mama my friend,
You're my friend

The riff in the song is straight from This Must be the Place by Talking Heads.
Awww they luv their mummys... :) heh heh, okee sorry I have no clue why I just commented on a spice girls song. I am embarrassed now. Okee I'll go run and hide in my hole once again...
omg the spice girls are rockstars.. i think this song is about their relationship with their dad!!!!!
I think this song is to their mommy's and how much they love them.
this song is jst wot spice girls r all about - dey r jst a girl group 4 little girls. i cnt believe ppl like middleaged blokes r cumin on dis site seyin how spice girls r rubbish! c'mon you no as well ias i do - da band is made 2 make musik 4 kids of da 90's. most of der lyrics dont have a hidden meaning, der about bringin smiles 2 da cuteies faces. if u hav kids, or were a kid in da spice girls era ull understand. girl power will exist 4eva
I think the song is great. There are a lot of father/daugher songs but there aren't that many mother/daughter songs, so it's good the Spice Girls made one.
Spice Girls rock the shit.
this song is amazing due to posh spices amazing backing vocals not, quality stuff from no talent karaoke queens.
This makes me tear up thinking about my Mama miles away.
Now the SG's have their own kiddies...to dedicate this song to them! How fitting!
i adore this song, i get shivers when i listen to it. it makes me think about my mum as well, the lyrics are actually true.
