Mr Big Greatest Hits Lyrics
1.Addicted To That Rush

When I was a young boy
My momma said to me
Once a woman gets your soul
You'll never shake her free
These are words of wisdom
Tt turns out she was right
Gotta find a lover-
'Cause I need a fix tonight

Once I thought her lovin'
Was a habit I could break
But when I go without it
My body starts to ache
Whoooooo (etc.) ooooo
Watch it touch me deep inside
Whoooooo
Somethin' snaps inside my mind
When I feel it comin' ain't no sense in runnin'
I'm addicted to that rush
Every time we touch
Never get enough
'Cause I'm addicted to that rush - Yeow!

Look around I stop and stare
Got to get a taste
Pretty women everywhere
We ain't got time to waste
Lookin' for a little thang
To fit into my plans
On the town I'll hurt you down
I'm walkin' like a man
(Chorus)


2.Rock & Roll Over

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

B-Section:
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

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

Same time next year
Life is full of chances
Is this the Lady or the Tiger
There's never any answers

B-Sections:
Ooh, one minute after midnight
When it's all been said and done
Is that the way it is in real life
Time marches
After the shock

Chorus:

Solo

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

B-Section:
Chorus out:


3.Green-Tinted Sixties Mind

Did you ever notice how old movie from the sixties have sort of
a green tint
to them? Strange but true.

She just woke up, but she's still tired
Is that the telephone ringing?
The curtains can't hold back the light
That's reaching into her dreams
Down in her heart
If it had fingers, it'd be tearing it apart

You be lookin' groovy
In a sixties movie
Maybe tell the press you died
Little legend baby
Try your very best to hide
A green-tinted sixties mind

She keeps some memories locked away
But they are always escaping
neclgect won't make them fade away
They're reaching into her dreams
Down in her heart
Don't need fingers to be tearing it apart

Gotta face the day
There is no other way
To clear the fog inside your mind
Fill it up with dreams
But all that you can seem to find
A green-tinted sixties mind

Hangin' out with Janis
Movin' to Atlantis
Could've made it if you tried
What's the point of force
It's easy as a horse to ride
A green-tinted sixties mind

You be looking groovy
In a sixties movie
Maybe tell the press you died
Little legend baby
Try your very best to hide
A green-tinted sixties mind
-U can't hide-


4.To Be With You

This one's really a blast to play. Eric's still shocked that the
rest of us dig this
song so much.

Hold on little girl
Show me what he's doone to you
Stand up little girl
A broken heart can't be that bad
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 feel it too)
Feel it too
(Waited on a line of greens and blues)
Waited on a line
(Just to be the next to be with you)

Build up your confidence
So you can be on top for once
wake up who cares about
Little boys that talk too much
I seen it all go down
Your game of love was all rained out
So come on baby, come on over
Let me be the one to hold you

Chorus

Why be alone when we can be together baby
You can make my life worthwhile
And I can make you start to smile

5.Just Take My Heart

Written on piano, performed on guitar. Boom.

It's late at night and neither one of us is sleeping
I can't imagine living my life after you're gone
Wondering why so many questions have no answers
I keep on searching for the reason why we went wrong

Where is our yesterday
You and I could use it right now
But if this is goodbye

Just take my heart when you go
I don't have the need for it anymore
I'll always love you, but you're hard to hold
Just take my heart when you go

Here we are about to take the final step now
I just can't fool myself, I know there's no turing back
Face to face it's been endless conversation
But when the love is gone you're left with nothing but talk

I'd give my everything
If only I could turn you around
But if this is goodbye

Just take my heart when you go
I don't have the need for it anymore
I'll always love you but you're hard to hold
Just take my heart when you go


6.Daddy, Brother, Lover, Little Boy(The Electric Drill Song)

This features Billy and Paul playing their guitars
with Makita cordless drills in harmony. Don't try this at home,
kids.

If you're a red hot fire cracker
I will light your fuse
If you cry like a little girl
I'll dry your baby blues
When you need a man of action
I'm ready to make my move
Like a shotgun shot, Johnny on the spot
There's nothing I can't do

Everything you're looking for
You can find in me
I'll be anything you want
Anyone you need
I'll be your daddy, your brother, your lover and
your little boy.

When your body needs salvation
I'll be your tender touch
I'll take all the love you give me
And give you twice as much
When we get undercover
And do the horizontal mile
I'm in the mood to answer to your call of the wild

Everything you're looking for
You can find in me
I'll be anything you want
Anyone you need
Everything you're looking for
Anything that you want and more
I'll be your daddy, you brother, your lover and
your little boy


7.Wild World

Now that I lost everything to you
You say you want to start something new
And it's breaking my heart you're leaving
Baby I'm grieving
But if you wanna leave take good care
Hope you have a lot of nice things to wear
But then a lot of thing turns bad out there

Oh baby baby it's a wild world
It's hard to get back just because it's wild
Oh baby baby it's a wild world
I'll always remember you like a child girl

You know I've seen a lot of what the world can do
And it's breaking my heart in two
Cause I never want to see you sad girl
Don't be a bad girl

But if you want to leave take good care
Hope you make a lot of nice friends out there
But just remember there's a lot of bad and beware
Baby I love you


8.Colorado Bulldog

Anytime golden I was crawling on the rocks
And a little touch of attitude
Who's that Madam X
Comin' in at 3 o'colck?
Why don't you send her over one two

Next thing I remember
I was crawling round the room
She was dancing on the tables
I was bloodshot,brakin' at the moon

Colorado,Colorado Bulldog
This nigh has gone to my head

Colorado,Colorado Bulldog
If someone leads you aroundy by the neck
Turn around and run like hell

Swingin' from the ratfers
Losing all control
Playing a little game of cat and mouse
I popped the question
I've been lonely much too long
Why it's called 'The drinks are on the house.'

The next thing I remember
Through the pandemonium
Feeling like a nightmare
That bites,right into my skin
Colorado,Colorado Bulldog
This nigh has gone to my head
Colorado,Colorado Bulldog
If someone leads you aroundy by the neck
Turn around and run like hell

The pretty lone leader
That pretty maneater
Left me in the No.6 Motle
How was I to know she'd strip me to the bone
And steal away my heart as well

Next thing I remember
Throught the pandemonium
Feeling like a nightmare
That bites,right into my skin
Colorado,Colorado Bulldog
This nigh has gone to my head
Colorado,Colorado Bulldog
If someone leads you aroundy by the neck
Turn around and run like hell

Bottoms up
Down the hatch it's time to start all over again


9.Promise Her The Moon

Hey, yeah yeah
You don't know what you've got
Till the love is almost gone
This time, yeah she's given up
Still in a state of shock
I should've seen it coming on
It's too late for waking up
Her mind's made up
I know the dream is over
But my heart just can't let go
She's too good to be forgotten
Too good to be true
Before my world is torn apart
I'll promise her the moon
I'll promise her the moon
I was too blind to notice her
Wrapped up in myself
Workin' hard overtime, night and day
I thought we were so secure
Can' imagine someone else
Could come between us
And take her away
Her mind's made up
I know the dream is over
But my heart just can't let go
She's too good to be forgotten
Too good to be true
Before my world is torn apart
I'll promise her the moon
I'll promise her the moon
And all the time she stood by me
I never said 'I love you'
Yeah, I kept it deep down in my soul
And all the while I've been a fool
yeah, yeah yeah.


10.Nothing But Love

Guess what baby
The thing we said
Came true today cause we listen to our hearts
No one but you
Will ever do
Our search is through but our journey's just beginning
Nothing but love can last forever
Nothing but love will start
To mend the place inside your heart that needed healing
Nothing but love can last forever
Nothing but love will start
To make your head spin round & round
You know you're feeling love
Nothing but love ,nothing but love

Can't read your mind
Lord knows I've tried
But in your eyes I see everything
I need to know
Nothing to do but follow you
My aim is true.I could never ask for anymore

And if you walk away
You know that I will follow
To steal back your broken heart
At least until tomorrow
Because there'll come a day
Besides you,I can have it your own way

Nothing but love can't last forever
Nothing but love will start
To mend the place inside your heart that needed healing
Nothing but love can last forever
Nothing but love will start
To make your head spin round & round
You know you're feeling
Nothing but love can hold our world together
Nothing but love will start
To let us hear the sounds above
That have been secreaming love
Nothing but love ,nothing but love


11.Take Cover

Words in my mouth

Someone told me to say

They go unspoken
My mind gets in the way
I hold my tongue
Save my, save my soul
True to myself
And stay gold
Sometimes you gotta pull the plug
Somewhere a little place to crawl
Love me for who I am
It doesn't have to be this hard

for an ordinary man
I wanna take cover, take cover
From you, wake me when it's over
Take cover, I wanna take cover
From you
Sold all my dreams
Watched them all disappear
I've spilled my blood
No one seems to care
Sometimes you gotta pull the plug
Somewhere a little place to crawl
Love me for who I am
How low do I have to go to make you
Understand


12.Goin' Where The Wind Blows

Someone said life is for the taking

Here I am with my hand out waiting for a ride
I've been living on my great expectations
What good is it when I'm stranded here
And the world just passess by
Where are the signs to help me get out of this place

If I should stumble on my moment in time,

How will I know
If the story's written on my face, does it show
Am I strong enough to walk on water
Smart enough to come in out of the rain
Or am I a fool going where the wind blows
Here I sit halfway to somewhere
Thinking about what's in front of me and

what I left behind
On my own, supposed to be so easy
Is this what I've been after
Or have I lost my mind
Maybe this is my chance coming to take me away

If I should stumble on my moment in time,

How will I know
If the story's written on my face, does it show
Am I strong enough to walk on water
Smart enough to come in out of the rain
Or am I a fool going where the wind blows
Here I am walking naked through the world

Taking up space, society's child
Make room for me, make room for me,

make room for me
Am I strong enough to walk on water
Smart enough to come in out of the rain
Or am I a fool
Going where the wind blows
Going where the wind blows
Going where the wind blows
Going where the wind blows


13.Seven Impossible Days

Sunday morning,out of my mind
Feel like it's gonna to waste
Twenty five years
Seven impossible days

Mondy morning,out of the light
someone is stetched to chain
Twenty five years
Seven impossible days

People are walking and leaving
behind
Leaving behind someone who wants
them to saty
Everyone's shouting,out of their mind
See that they're gone,afraid that
they'll
Come to stay

Friday morning got to the crying
Find me a women of lace
I hear you babe
Seven impossible days


14.Not One Night

I used to dream of only you
Now I don't do that

I used to miss taking to you
Only now I don't do that

Since you've been gone
I've learned to stop
Trying to hold on
Because there's

Not one night
One single day
That I wouldn't give to you

So with all my might
In every way
I try to forget
You too

I thought you could
Tell me anything
Yeah ,you used
To do that

Let me inside of
Everything
Yeah ,you used
To do that

Never to change
At least ,I thought
It feels so strange
Because there's

Not one night
One single day
That I wouldn't give to you

So with all my might
In every way
I try to forget
You too

Loneliness may come
Knocking at my door
Where I'm coming from
That don't phase me anymore
Time has shed a little girl
On where I'm supposed to be
But there's no use in thinking
you'll come running back to me

No luck

Since you've been gone
I've learned to stop
Trying to hold on
Because there's

Not one night
One single day
That I wouldn't give to you

So with all my might
In every way
I try to forget
You too

Not one night
One single day
That I wouldn't give to you

So with all my might
In every way
I try to forget
You too


15.Unnatural

Unntural
Contractual
Pices of my life
I signed away

For magic beans
Grow into dreams
Open your eyes
Then drift away

Unnatural
This comes to me
Can't seem to find
Someone to be

It's laughable
Halfway I fall
I give myself
Away

Who even knows
Which way to go
All plans arise
Blows me away

Led by a dream
Taught how to sing
So naturally
My lucky day

Unnaturally
This comes to me
Can't seem to find
Someone to be

It's laughable
Halfway I fall
I give myself
Away

Dumb luck
Give her everything she has
Dumb luck
Breeds jealousy

I'm stuck
In a body with some hands
Convinced
I couldn't be

Couldn't be

Unnatural
Unnatural

Drift away
Unnatural
Drift away
Unnatural
