About Mama

"Mama" is a song by the British girl group the Spice Girls. It was written by the Spice Girls, Matt Rowe and Richard Stannard, and produced by Rowe and Stannard for the group's debut album Spice, released in November 1996. "Mama" is a pop ballad that features instrumentation from keyboards, a rhythm guitar, a cello, and a violin, and its lyrics deal with the difficulties in relationships between mothers and daughters that appear during their childhood. It was released as a double A-side with "Who Do You Think You Are", and became the official single of the 1997 Comic Relief. Its Big TV! directed music video, featured the group singing to an audience of children and their own mothers. Despite receiving mixed reviews from music critics, "Mama" was commercially successful. Released as the album's fourth single in March 1997, it became their fourth consecutive number-one single in the United Kingdom, which made the Spice Girls the first act in UK chart history to have its first four singles reach number one. It was certified platinum by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI). The single performed well internationally, reaching the top ten in many European countries and New Zealand, and the top fifteen in Australia. more »

She used to be my only enemy and never let me be free 
Catching me in places that I knew 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 (mama) 
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 
You're 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 right 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 
You're my friend
Mama, you're my friend

Oh, me loving you, you loving me 
A love that's true and guaranteed 
Me loving you, me loving you 
A love that's true
And guaranteed

Me loving you, you loving me 
A love that's true and guaranteed 
Me loving you, me loving you 
A love that's true
And guaranteed

Oh, me loving you, you loving me 
A love that's true and guaranteed 
Me loving you, me loving you 
A love that's true
