Mr. Big

I had a dream the other day
We were dining naked in a crowded café
Acting on our very best without a bulletproof vest
We could speak in foreign tongues
So sublime to surrender to the wine, so infectious...
Nothing hurt it was perfect till dessert

I'm not over getting over you at all
You live in my head you're hard to forget
My eyes open to love and loathing
The devil takes a bow
She's all coming back to me now

When the fireworks begin
The little daggers dig a hole we fall in
The fascination takes a dive I barely make it out alive
Just in time to pay the check
What's the use, it's the same polite abuse resurrected
What a joke the dream goes up in smoke

I'm not over getting over you at all
You live in my head you're hard to forget
My eyes open to love and loathing
The devil takes a bow
She's all coming back to me now

Come on cupid, pour me another cup of stupid
One more time

I'm not over getting over you at all
You live in my head you're hard to forget
My eyes open to love and loathing
The devil takes a bow
She's all coming back to me now

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.
