Mr. Big

Songwriter: Billy Sheehan

Producer: Kevin Elson

Ain't like any other day
Finally comes a time to decide
I won't spend another day
Stuck here in the same old bind

I can see myself as much too strong
To let this thing go on so long
It ain't a case of right or wrong
I'll put myself back up where I belong

Oh, can't you see, I've had enough?
(Had enough)
Oh oh, can't you see, I've had enough?
(Had enough)
Baby, I've had enough

I don't forget too easily
You're the one who told me a lie
Now you know you're free to be
Anybody's lover but mine

I can see myself as much too young
It's not too late to stick to my guns
I'll take it right back to square one
When you turn around to look for me, I'll be gone

Oh, can't you see, I've had enough?
(Had enough)
Oh oh, can't you see, I've had enough?
(Had enough)
Baby, I've had enough

Why can't you see what you've, you've done to me?
I'm not too sure of it myself
The answer lies in a whole new beginning
The second time around

Oh, can't you see, I've had enough?
(Had enough)
Oh oh, can't you see, I've had enough?
(Had enough)
Oh oh, can't you see, I've had enough?
(Had enough)
Baby, I've had enough, had enough
I've had enough

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.
