Hagar, now a sort of modern-day Jimmy Buffett, has earned his place in rock n roll history as one of hard rock's premier front men who not only has an ample, strong, belting vocal range with soulful melody and tone, but his duality as a formidable lead guitarist and guitar-riff-monger puts him in a league shared with few others in terms of versatility and overall right to rock.
He now tours with Mike Anthony, former bassist for Van Halen.
He resides with his family in Mill Valley, CA.
Hagar is currently in a band called "Chickenfoot" with Michael Anthony, Red Hot Chili Peppers' drummer Chad Smith and guitarist Joe Satriani. Their self titled debut album was released to critical acclaim
Sammy Hagar is also known as the Red Rocker, due to the fact he almost always wears red shirts or plays a red guitar, or more likely that he has red hair?
Seems that Chickenfoot is on a hiatus as Joe Satriani has gone back to solo and CF has yet to follow up with a new LP.
Little Bit More
Sammy Hagar Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A little bit more tonight
A little bit more
I recognize that face that you wore tonight
A little bit more
And I know I shouldn't be surprised
And I know I should believe my eyes
But I don't want to see it
A little bit more tonight
A little bit more
And I don't want to see
I'm losing you
A little bit more tonight
A little bit more
More space between the lines
A little bit more tonight
Just a little bit more
It?s like falling down
Three flights of love tonight
Or more
And I know I shouldn't be surprised
Yes and I know I should believe my eyes
But I don't want to see it
I'm losing you
A little bit more tonight
A little bit more
And I don't want to see
I'm losing you
A little bit more tonight
A little bit more
So don't think about it
Go on and figure out it
No place to lay the blame down
Everyone?s a saint
Her body?s in the bedroom
But her heads gone out the door
NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA
NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA
Yea .. and I know I shouldn't be surprised
Yes and I know I should believe my eyes
But I don't want to see it
I'm losing you
A little bit more tonight
A little bit more
And I don't want to see
I'm losing you
A little bit more tonight
A little bit more
NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA
NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA
And I don't want to see
That I'm losing you
I felt you pull away
A little bit more tonight
A little bit more
The lyrics to Sammy Hagar's "Little Bit More" express the pain of losing someone bit by bit, as they gradually withdraw from the relationship. The song starts with the singer recognizing small signs that the person is distancing themselves, as they "pull away a little bit more tonight". He acknowledges that he shouldn't be surprised and that he should believe what he sees, but he doesn't want to see it. He's falling down "three flights of love tonight" as the distance between the two grows.
The second verse continues with the description of the singer's feelings about the situation. He wants to be in denial and tells himself not to think about it, and that there's no one to blame. The person's physical presence may still be there, but they've already checked out emotionally, as their "head's gone out the door". The song ends with a repetition of the line "I don't want to see I'm losing you, a little bit more tonight", emphasizing the escalating loss the singer is experiencing.
Overall, "Little Bit More" is a poignant expression of the pain of a relationship slowly unraveling despite one's best efforts to hold it together.

More space between the lines
The widening gap between them is becoming more apparent, even in the unspoken aspects of their relationship.
A little bit more tonight

Just a little bit more
Each increment of detachment is small, but cumulatively it adds up.
It?s like falling down
The sensation of being helpless and out of control is reminiscent of a physical fall.
Three flights of love tonight
This fall feels significant, like falling the distance of three stories of a building.

Perhaps even more than three flights - the artist doesn't feel like they can stop this descent.
So don't think about it
Trying not to dwell on the situation or analyze it too much, as it feels overwhelming.
Go on and figure out it

No place to lay the blame down
The detached feelings aren't anyone's fault, per se, they are just happening.
Everyone?s a saint
Neither person involved is necessarily in the wrong, making it hard to assign blame for the situation.
Her body?s in the bedroom
Though physically present, the partner's mind and emotions are elsewhere.
But her heads gone out the door

And I don't want to see it

NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA
No semantic meaning, only a musical refrain.
Yea .. and I know I shouldn't be surprised

And I know I should believe my eyes

But I don't want to see it
Denial is still at play.
I'm losing you
This line repeats for emphasis, as the artist comes to terms with the reality of the situation.
A little bit more tonight
Once again, the singer notes the incremental nature of their loss.
And I don't want to see
The singer wants to avoid facing their impending loss.
I'm losing you
But the truth is inescapable.
A little bit more tonight
And with each moment, the distance grows.
A little bit more
Until there is nothing left between them.
