Mr. Big

When the honeymoon's over
Where do we go from here
What do we do when we get there
Who's at the other end

Yeah, one minute after midnight
When it's all been said and done
Is that the way it is in real life
Time marches on
After the shock

We rock & roll over, over & then
Show your true colors
Put on a new face
Love is like a faucet
Turnin' off and on
Rock & roll over
Will the real you stand up

Same time next year
Life is full of chances
It's the lady or the tiger
There's never any answers

Uhh, one minute after midnight
When it's all been said and done
Is that the way it is in real life
Time marches on
After the shock

We rock & roll over, over & then
Show your true colors
Put on a new face
Love is like a faucet
Turnin' off and on
Rock & roll over
Will the real you stand up

Love and hate is a fine, fine line
But if you're the cure, now, baby, I'll make the time

Uhh, one minute after midnight
When it's all been said and done
After the shock
Yeah, baby, we rock

Rock & roll over, over & then
Rock & roll over, over & then
Rock & roll over, over & then
Rock & roll over, over & then
Rock & roll over, over & then

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.
