Lyrics of
To Be With You

To Be with You by Mr. Big was developed against the backdrop of the rising popularity of power ballads in the late 80s and early 90s. The song was inspired by personal events from bassist and songwriter Eric Martins life.

Hold on little girl. Show me what he's done 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.

e -0------0------0-------0-----0------- -----------0---------
B -0------0------0-------0-----0------- -4---------0---------

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.

e -0------0------0-------0-----0------- -----------0---------
B -0------0------0-------0-----0------- -4---------0---------

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

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.

B -3------3------3------3------3------- -3---------3---------
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.
(Back to E progression)
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.
Just to be the next to be with you.
