[Verse 1: Brian]
First off, I can't keep a promise
I'm no one to count on at all
Add on that I'm a coward
Too scared to return your call

[Chorus: Nick with All, All]
But you don't care
You keep sticking around
While I'm acting a clown
You're bigger
(La la la la la la la, la la la la la la la la)
You're still here
You're feet stuck to the ground
Despite how silly it sounds
You're bigger than me
(La la la la la la la, la la la la la la la la)

[Verse 2: AJ with Howie]
It's known that I'm a liar
Often I'm blacker than white
Add on my uncanny ego
No one's less humble than I

[Chorus: Nick with All, All]
But you don't care
You keep sticking around
While I'm acting a clown
You're bigger than me
(La la la la la la la, la la la la la la la)
You're still here
You're feet stuck to the ground
Despite how silly it sounds
You're bigger than me <(la la la la la la la)

[Bridge: Brian with AJ, Howie & All]
All the messed up things I do
Yet I swear I'll make 'em up to you
(Whoo-ooh-oooh-ooh!)
Before you go and have enough
Just let me make it better
I'll try and measure up
I'll try and measure up to you, oh yeah!

[Interlude: Brian]
I'll make 'em up to you
Oh yeah-eh-eh!

[Chorus: Nick with All, Brian, (AJ), All]
But you don't care
You keep sticking around
While I'm acting a clown
You're bigger than me
(La la la la la la la, la la la la la la la la)
You're still here (you're still here)
You're feet stuck to the ground (to the ground)
Despite how silly it sounds
You're bigger than me
(La la la la la la la, la la la la la la la la)

[Outro: Nick]
Just bigger than me

The Backstreet Boys are the most successful boy band in history, having sold over 130 million records worldwide, and with their first nine albums reaching the top 10 on the Billboard 200. Florida natives A. J. McLean, Howie Dorough, and Nick Carter, along with Kentucky transplant Kevin Richardson, were joined in a band once they attended Lou Pearlman’s auditions for a vocal group in 1992, with the group being completed by Kevin’s cousin Brian Litrell. Once took under the wing of Swedish producer Max Martin in 1995, the stage was set for global domination, attracting the lust of women and the anger of men. While the fad died down and Kevin even left for a while, the band never officially took a break or such.
