Mr. Big

I've been burin' the blues with a capital B
Surfin' in hell for a brand new me
Got a bone to pick with my skeleton crew
And it cashin' in my IOUs

Smoke 'em if you got 'em
Ain't no place like rock bottom

I'm dancin' with my devils
Blind, side by side
I'm dancin' with my devils
Me, myself and I

I've been workin' the street in the same old suit
And there's a hole in my soul that's showin' right through
No more walkin' the walk or talkin' that fast talk
'Cause I'm out of my skin and takin' my clothes off

Smoke 'em if you got 'em
Ain't no place like rock bottom

I'm dancin' with my devils
Blind, side by side
I'm dancin' with my devils
Me, myself and I

I want to do what I wanna do
I have to be who I want to be
Hey, you just gotta get over it
It's good be the king

Smoke 'em if you got 'em
Ain't no place like rock bottom
When all is said and done
If you can't beat 'em join 'em and get some

I'm dancin' with my devils
Blind, side by side
I'm dancin' with my devils
Me, myself and I

I'm dancin' with my devils, say
Mama, people say
I'm dancin' with my devils
Me, myself and I

Dancing, dancing with my devils
Dancing, dancing with my devils, say
Dancing, dancing with my devils, say

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.
