Okay, we're rolling
One, two
One, two, three, four

When I was a young boy
My momma said to me
Once a woman gets your soul
You'll never shake her free
These are words of wisdom
It turns out she was right
Gotta find a lover
'Cause I need a fix tonight

(Whoa-oh)
Watch it touch me deep inside
(Whoa-oh)
Somethin' snaps inside my mind
(Whoa-oh)
When I feel it comin' ain't no sense in runnin'

I'm addicted to that rush
Every time we touch
Never get enough
'Cause I'm addicted to that rush, yeow!

Look around I stop and stare
Got to get a taste
Pretty women everywhere
We ain't got time to waste
Lookin' for a little thang
To fit into my plans
On the town, I'll hunt you down
I'm walkin' like a man

(Whoa-oh)
Watch it touch me deep inside
(Whoa-oh)
Somethin' snaps inside my mind
(Whoa-oh)
When I feel it comin' ain't no sense in runnin'

I'm addicted to that rush
Every time we touch
Never get enough
'Cause I'm addicted to that rush, one more
I'm addicted to that rush
Every time we touch
Never get enough
'Cause I'm addicted to that rush

(Whoa-oh)
Watch it touch me deep inside
(Whoa-oh)
Somethin' snaps inside my mind
(Whoa-oh)
Oh, when I feel it comin' ain't no sense in runnin'

Once I thought her lovin'
Was a habit I could break
But when I go without it
My body starts to ache

I'm addicted to that rush
Every time we touch
Never get enough
'Cause I'm addicted to that rush
Never, never, never, never, never, get enough

(Whoa-oh)
Watch it touch me deep inside
(Whoa-oh)
Somethin' snaps inside my mind
(Whoa-oh)
When I feel it comin', ain't no sense in runnin'

I'm addicted to that rush
Addicted to that rush
I'm addicted to that rush
Addicted to that rush
I'm addicted to that rush
I'm addicted to that rush
Addicted to that rush
I'm addicted to that rush
Aaaaaaaah

Hurt me!

One of these days, one of these days, one of these days!
Pow! Right in the kisser

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.
