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, [Victoria, Mel C & Geri]
     Why you were misunderstood [Victoria, Mel C & Geri]
     (Mama)
     So now I see through your eyes [Victoria, Mel C & Geri]
     All that you did was love [Victoria, Mel C & Geri]

     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, [Victoria, Mel C & Geri]
     Why you were misunderstood [Victoria, Mel C & Geri]
     So now I see through your eyes [Victoria, Mel C & Geri]
     All that you did was love [Victoria, Mel C & Geri]

     Mama I love you, Mama I care
     Mama I love you, Mama my friend
     You're my friend, you're my friend

     But now I'm sure I know why [Victoria, Mel C & Geri]
     (I know why)
     Why you were misunderstood [Victoria, Mel C & Geri]
     So now I [Victoria, Mel C & Geri]
     See through your eyes [Mel B, Victoria, Mel C & Geri]
     All I can give you is love [Victoria, Mel C & Geri]
     (All I can give you is love)

     Mama I love you, Mama I care
     Mama I love you, Mama my friend

     Mama I love you, Mama I care
     Mama I love you, Mama my friend

     Ohhh, (you're my friend)
     Ma Mama, ohhh (you're my friend)

     Ohhh, Ma Mama, ohhh
     [repeat]

     Mama I love you, Mama I care
     Mama I love you, Mama my friend
     [repeat]

     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
