Live and loved from the old jaw bone
Oh, don’t you cry you’re home sweet home

Rock a bye sweet lady gypsy blue
Oooh, the nightingale’s singin’ her song in the rain
Hush a bye sweet lady, soft and new
Oooh, don’t you cry, the wind she’s a screamin’ your name… (Mia)
Ooooh… (Mia) ooooh… (Mia)

Come too soon that sunny day
You give your heart away
No divorcee, or repouise…yeah…yeah

About Lyrics and Mia by Aerosmith

When you decide to study the lyrics to Mia, you're looking at the words, verses and background chorus from the 1979 song by Aerosmith. Some of the lyrics to Mia have clear meanings and some contain metaphorical references. Like most songs, only Aerosmith and their collaborators know the full story behind any of the their songs.

You can understand the lyrics to Mia if you take apart the structure of the words. The word "lyric" itself derives from the Latin word lyricus, with the actual English word lyrics applied to the definition "words set to music" listed in Stainer and Barrett's 1876 Dictionary of Musical Terms. Continuing the chain, the Latin word lyricus derives from the Greek word λυρικός or lyrikós. This somewhat means "poetry accompanied by the lyre" or "words set to music." You can easily see that by looking at the background of the word lyric, that the "lyrics to Mia" means the words set to the music of Mia, or poetry accompanied by the lyre played by Aerosmith. The singular form "lyric" is still used to mean the complete words to a song. However, the singular form lyric is also commonly used to refer to a specific line (or phrase) within a song's lyrics. Hence, by this analysis of word structure, you could say that the lyric to Mia and the lyrics to Mia are both one and the same thing. None of this talk about the word Lyrics is really relevant to fans of Aerosmith who came here looking just for the lyrics to Mia, but we feel it is still fun to learn what's behind commonly used words and lyrics in songs.
