Mr. Big

You know the shits gonna hit ya
As you stare into hurricane eye
I flirt with the flame to get a taste of the strange
I'm crazy as a Van Gogh sky

I miss the bliss, can I get a witness
Falling for this wicked addiction
I found my twist, I found my rhythm
A beautiful bad ass stone temptation

I'm game and I'm wild as I wanna be
And I can't stand still
I know it's wrong, but I keep throwing long
The thrill is in the trouble
'Cause everybody needs a little trouble
'Cause everybody needs a little trouble

I roll my bones for the money
Wake the dead and come alive
My vice is never taking advice
I brave the bees for the honey

I miss the bliss, can I get a witness
Falling for this wicked addiction
I found my weakness, a little sweetness
A beautiful bad ass stone temptation

I'm game and I'm wild as I wanna be
And I can't stand still
I know it's wrong, but I keep throwing long
The thrill is in the trouble
'Cause everybody needs a little trouble
'Cause everybody needs a little...

I'm game and I'm wild as I wanna be
And I can't stand still
I know it's wrong, but I keep throwing long
The thrill is in the trouble
'Cause everybody needs a little trouble
'Cause everybody needs a little trouble
'Cause everybody needs a little trouble
'Cause everybody needs a little trouble
Everybody needs a little... trouble

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.
