Mr. Big

Crawlin' is the place you have been
When you're crawlin'
When you crawl...
Crawl over me

Euphoria is her name, she's so good
She is almost bad, she is almost mad
Sweet misery is a game that conceals
The benediction, a cruel conviction

Have you ever been a child
Have you ever faked a smile
When you crawl? (crawl over me)
You're back on your knees again
Right where you've always been. (crawl over me)
Where's your pride?
You're on the ground
Crawl over me

Since the alchemy plays the cards that she deals
She lets me see what I want to see
Have you ever been afraid
Have you ever lied to get laid
When you crawl?
Crawl over me
You're back on your knees again
Right where you've always been. (crawl over me)
Where's your pride?
You're on the ground
Crawl over me

Have you ever been alone, stare into the great unknown
You want to suffer so you can't feel
You can't buy so you have to steal
Was I ever in your plans?
Will I ever understand?

Crawl over me, (crawl over me, crawl over me, crawl over me)
You're back on your knees again, (crawl over me)
Right where you've Always been. (crawl over me)
Wehre's your pride?
You're on the ground
Crawl over me

Mr. Big is an American hard rock supergroup formed in Los Angeles, California, in 1988. The band was originally composed of Eric Martin (lead vocals), Paul Gilbert (guitar, backing vocals), Billy Sheehan (bass guitar, backing vocals), and Pat Torpey (drums, percussion, backing vocals). They are noted especially for their music, and have scored a number of hits. Their songs are often marked by strong vocals and vocal harmonies. Their hits include “To Be with You” (a number-one single in 15 countries in 1992) and “Just Take My Heart”. The band takes its name from a song by Free, which it covered on the 1993 album Bump Ahead.

Mr. Big remained active and popular for over a decade despite internal conflicts and changing music trends, releasing four studio Mr. Big (1989), Lean into It (1991), Bump Ahead (1993) and Hey Man (1996). Guitarist Paul Gilbert departed the band in 1999, and Richie Kotzen was brought as a guitarist and vocalist. The band released two more albums with this Get Over It (1999) and Actual Size (2001). Mr. Big broke up in 2002.

Following requests from fans, Mr. Big reunited with its original line-up in 2009. The band’s first post-reunion tour was in Japan. In 2010, Mr. Big released its first album in 15 years with the same What If…. During the recording of the follow-up album …The Stories We Could Tell (2014), Pat Torpey was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease and participated only marginally as a drum producer and touring support. The band’s ninth album, Defying Gravity (2017), was its last record involving Torpey; he died the following year. Not wanting to continue without Torpey, the band intends to release a final studio album, conduct a farewell tour and disband.
