Oi, looky us! [spices spread for comic relief]
She used to be my only enemy and never let me be free
(Pity that she let you free in the last couple years then)
Catching me in places that I knew I shouldn't be
(Like on top of the charts worldwide?)
Every other day I crossed the line
I didn't mean to be so bad
(It's okay, you carn't help being shite. Just try to stop singing, okay?)
I never thought you would become the friend I never had
(Why does it not surprise me that they didn't have friends?)
Back then I didn't know why
Why you were misunderstood
(I don't get it: You didn't know why she was misunderstood? Yet you knew she was misunderstood?)
So now I see through your eyes
(Disgusting!)
All that you did was love
Mama, I love you
(Please tell me this is a joke)
Mama, I care
(Oh god, this is repulsive)
Mama, I love you
(You already said that)
Mama, my friend
My friend
(This is a terrific expectorant)
I didn't want to hear it then but I'm not ashamed to say it now
(Well, no one really wants to hear you now)
Every little thing you said and did was right for me
(Oh, jesus christ. Just stop it. Now)
I had a lot of time to think about
About the way I used to be
(The way you used to be? Porno model, stripper, prostitute, ballerina, chubby cow? Also: brunettes)
Never had a sense of my responsibility
(You do now? New Zealand, anyone? Brit award clothing, anyone? Mexican waves? Prince Charles?)
That lovely chorus again. Cheers. Tears are in my eyes
But now I'm sure I know why
Why you were misunderstood
(Okay, fine. Why was she then? I'm hooked)
So now I see through your eyes
(Erm, hello?)
All I can give you is love
(You didn't answer my question)
Mama, I love you over and over again. This couldn't possibly be serious. Oh, wait, the single says 'Comic Relief' on it. Thank god, I thought it was serious

I believe Spice Girls have an Oedipus Complex.
