Mr. Big

I recognize the signs
Your baby-blues are vacant
We get along like there is nothing wrong
We've got some baggage that we got from the beginning
I know you know there's ground that we don't walk on

Shutting my mouth
Oh oh
Doing without
Suddenly someone gets a little colder

Well, what if we met tomorrow?
Right out of the wild blue
We'll get high (high) in another life
Baby, what if we were new?

It's like we stumbled being comfortable in Limbo
I miss the slippery twist of mystery, yes
What ever happened to the girl behind the woman?
I know you know the kind of man I used to be

Living out loud
Turn it around
And suddenly someone
Gets a little closer

What if we met tomorrow?
Right out of the wild blue
We'll get high in another life
Baby, what if we were new?

What if we cut up those picture-perfect faces?
Make another me another you
We'll get high (high) in another life
Baby, what if we were new?
Ah yeah

Turn the record over
I'm sick of the same song
I'm playing it too long
Gotta be something better

Well, what if we met tomorrow?
Right out of the wild blue
We'll get high (high) in another life
Baby, what if we were new?

Gotta be somethin' better
Another me
Another you
We'll get high (high) in another life
Baby, what if we were new?
Ahh-ooh
Oh now, what if we would still be something new?

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.
