Mr. Big

I like the feel of your name on my lips
I like the sound of your sweet gentle kiss
The way that your fingers run through my hair
And how your scent lingers even when you're not there
I like the way your eyes dance when you laugh
And how you enjoy a two hour bath
The way you convince me to dance in the rain
With everyone watching like we were insane
And I love the way you love me
Strong and wild, slow and easy
Heart and soul, so completely
I love the way you love me
I like the way that you sing sweet and low
When they're playing our song on the radio
And I like the innocent way that you cry
At old time movies you've seen hundreds of times
But I love the way you love me
Strong and wild, slow and easy
Heart and soul, so completely
I love the way you love me
I could list a million things
That I love to like about you
But they all come down to one reason
I could never live, live without you
Baby, I love the way you love me
Strong and wild, slow and easy
Heart and soul, so completely
I love the way you love me
Oh, baby, I love... the way you love me

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.
