Mr. Big

There's never been a midnight
That I don't jones for you
There's gravity in your eyes
A force of human nature
It's got me howling at the moon

You pull me in
You peel my skin
And find my Frankenstein
You've got that shake-and-bake
That takes me to the other side
It don't take much
Your Midas touch
And you will set me free
You're getting close to curl my toes
And release the monster in me
Hey hey, yeah

I'm bitten by Delilah
So beautiful it hurts
Oh, It changes what's inside ya
A little taste of crazy
A craving and a curse

You jack my eyes
Jekyll my Hyde
And torch my oxygen
You cut my ball and chain
It's all insane
The fun begins
It don't take much
Your Midas touch
And you will set me free
You're getting close to curl my toes
And release the monster in me
Yeah

Yeah yeah

You pull me in
You peel my skin
And find my Frankenstein
You've got that shake-and-bake
That takes me to the other side
It don't take much
Your Midas touch
And you will set me free
You're getting close to curl my toes
And release the monster
In me
Hmm
Oh no

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.
