Mr. Big

I was up and sown all night
Thoughts stick to me like glue
Sometimes the sunrise doesn't look so good
When the sun sets down on you
Too much talkin' about it
Was it money or was it love
You put yourself up on a pedestal
Now you can watch from up above

Look at the man in the mirror
All the wasted love, sweat and tears
Now you're Mr. Never In A Million Years

You're a D.I.Y. mister, it's been a good day in hell
Keep those cards and letters comin'
Lock them away up in a hole on the shelf

Look at the man in the mirror
All the wasted love, sweat and tears
Now you're Mr. Never In A Million Years

When it falls it falls quick
Only smile when you think you should
When you piss in the well
Don't complain about the water not tastin' so good

Look at the man in the mirror
All the wasted love, sweat and tears
You had it and it all disappeared
All the wasted love, sweat and tears
Now you're Mr. Never In A Million Years

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.
