Mr. Big

Another sleepless evening
And you're staring at the wall

Your head is turning circles all the time
And he's lying next to you
And it's got you so confused

Cause I'm the first thing that you think of when you've opened up your eyes
And all you ever dream about at night

And the promises you made
All the meanings start to fade
There's no use looking back

We both know it's a winding road
And you're wondering which way to go
Please don't tell me lies
And don't make up your mind
Baby, just let your heart decide

You've built yourself a castle
But it's only make-believe
And I know that you're just longing to be free
Living in a battlefield
Cause you know our love is real
And there's no turning back

We both know it's a winding road
And you're wondering which way to go
Please don't tell me lies
And don't make up your mind
Baby, just let your heart decide

I'm the one you need
Every breath you breathe
You know that we belong together
This was meant to be
Just run away with me
If you just let your heart
Just let your heart decide

There's no use looking back

We both know it's a winding road
And you're wondering which way to go
Please don't tell me lies
And don't make up your mind
Baby, just let your heart -

We both know it's a winding road
And you're wondering which way to go
Please don't tell me lies
And don't make up your mind
Baby, just let your heart decide
Oh
Ho- oh-

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.
