"Big Mouth" is a song performed by Fats Domino, a legendary American pianist, songwriter, and singer with a career spanning more than five decades. The song starts with accusatory lyrics that suggest someone has been spreading rumors about the singer around town. The singer addresses a person whom they refer to as "big mouth," stating that they have been spreading untrue stories about them. The lyrics convey the singer's frustration with the situation, and they seem to be mad at the fact that the rumors have made them feel exposed and vulnerable. The phrase "big mouth" is used in this song to describe a person who talks too much or spreads harmful rumors about others.
The singer goes on to suggest that before big mouth came along, they "had it all." With this phrase, the singer is reminiscing about their life before the rumors began spreading; it is unclear what they mean by "had it all," but the phrase indicates that their life was once good.
The chorus of the song is a direct address to big mouth, who is said to be standing "over there" as if they don't understand the rumors are hurtful. The singer accuses them of lying and suggests that they are pleased at making the singer cry. The final line of the chorus is possibly the singer's way of saying that they know the rumors are untrue.
