To Be With YouMr. Big

Songwriter: David Grahame Eric Martin

Producer: Kevin Elson

[Verse 1]
Hold on, little girl
Show me what he's done to you
Stand up, little girl
A broken heart can't be that bad

[Pre-Chorus 1]
When it's through, it's through
Fate will twist the both of you
So come on, baby, come on over
Let me be the one to show you

[Chorus]
I'm the one who wants to be with you
Deep inside I hope you'll feel it too
Waited on a line of greens and blues
Just to be the next to be with you

[Verse 2]
Build up your confidence
So you can be on top for once
Wake up! Who cares about
Little boys that talk too much?

[Pre-Chorus 2]
I've seen it all go down
The game of love was all rained out
So come on, baby, come on over
Let me be the one to hold you

[Chorus]
I'm the one who wants to be with you
Deep inside I hope you'll feel it too
Waited on a line of greens and blues
Just to be the next to be with you

[Bridge]
Why be alone when we can be together, baby?
You can make my life worth while
I can make you start to smile

[Guitar Solo]

[Pre-Chorus 1]
When it's through, it's through
And fate will twist the both of you
So come on, baby, come on over
Let me be the one to show you

[Chorus]
I'm the one who wants to be with you
Deep inside I hope you'll feel it too
Waited on a line of greens and blues
Just to be the next to be with you

[Coda]
Just to be the next to be with
You

Mr. Big

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.
