To Be With You
Mr.Big(미스터 빅) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I want to
Be with you
So we can do (It's CeeJay baby)
The things that lovers do
I want to (You already know)
Be with you (They gone think I'm bipolar after this one)
So we can do (Hella bipolar)
(That's what love do though)
The things that lovers do
So many miles in between
So many smiles tryna intervene
It’s been a while, or so it seems
I know I’m wild, but it’s the genes
See Ima dog but a different breed
Big paws, tryna shake these fleas
But when you on they all want a piece
Tryna bone, I’m like woman please
I know I’m wrong for the times I deceive
A happy home’s what I really need
Although you gone, I hope you never leave
That thought alone, that’s what’s killin me
Just come along yo and follow me
All this pride that I’m swallowing
No lie, no dishonesty
You a vibe, you’re the air I breathe
So believe
I want to
Be with you
So we can do the things
That lovers do
I want to
Be with you
So we can do the things
That lovers do
I plan to change my ways, I’m procrastinating
Like playing these games ain’t disaster waiting
Messing with these dames, so exasperating
Still I kee’ mo like a cancer patient
If I give you a ring, would you answer maybe?
Take my last name, everlasting baby
But if I don’t change, I’ll be batshit crazy
When I put you in the frame, so captivating
Got beauty and brains, surpassing greatness
Might sound a lil strange, but we have to make it
I got so much pain, it flows vastly lately
But since you done came, it’s evaporating
Go ignite the flame, I’m revamping/changing
Yeah ball and chain, go on clamp it, claim me
Love so insane, psychiatric placing
So hop a plane, we’ll be at it daily
Cause
I want to
Be with you
So we can do the things
That lovers do
I want to
Be with you
So we can do the things
That lovers do
I want to
Be with you
So we can do the things
That lovers do
I want to
Be with you




So we can do the things
That lovers do

2024 Happy New Year friends.
I wish your most innocent dreams come true . I wish you feel love anywhere you go.

I was a 12 year old when this beautiful song came out .
I was bullied at school, hit and yelled at at home , my parents were arguing everyday , and had some painful incidents in neighborhood that left me deep scar in my heart . My fear against the world and loneliness grew like monster .
This song kept cheering me up every day .
I started playing guitar with one my grandma left .
One day , I sang this song out loud at a class event in front of all the bullies !
That was my fight .
It felt like singing with my friends MR.BIG beside me. Not alone.

Came back now in 2024.
I feel my teenage self through this song . And embracing her dearly .

Anyone who are feeling beaten up by life , having hard time finding bright side , or no more energy to fight back , yet still loving this song .
You’ve come so far !
You’ve been so strong yet trying to stay soft and loving.
You are a beautiful miracle sent to this world.

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
I'm the one who wants to be with you
Deep inside I hope you feel it too
Waited on a line of greens and blues
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've 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
I'm the one who wants to be with you
Deep inside I hope you feel it too
Waited on a line of greens and blues
Just to be the next to be with you
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
Come on baby, come on over
Let me be the one to show you
I'm the one who wants to be with you
Deep inside I hope you feel it too
Waited on a line of greens and blues
Just to be the next to be with you
I'm the one who wants to be with you
Deep inside I hope you 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
