"Mama" lyrics - SPICE GIRLS

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

[Pre-Chorus:]
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

[Chorus:]
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

[Pre-Chorus:]
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

[Chorus:]
Mama I love you, Mama I care
Mama I love you, Mama my friend
You're my friend (Oh mama)
You're my friend (Mama)
(Oh) Me loving you
(Mama mama) You loving me
A love that's true, and guaranteed
(Oh) Mama I love you
(Mama Mama) Mama I care
(Oh) Mama I love you
(Mama Mama) Mama my friend

[Outro:]
Me loving you, you loving me
A love that's true, and guaranteed
Me loving you (me loving you)
You loving me (you loving me)
A love that's true (a love that's true)
And guaranteed (so true)
You loving me (you loving me)
You loving me (you loving me)
A love that's true (a love that's true)
And guaranteed (so true)
And guaranteed (so true)
