Mr. Big - Forever And Back Lyrics






I'm just a simple man
Doing the best I can
Driving a car I can afford
Born with a losing hand
Don't have a master plan
Trying to do right by the Lord

I am the beast, you're the beauty
Do you still have feelings for me?
I know that I said some quite stupid things
And if only I could take the words back
Back, back, back, back, back, back

Then would you say that you love me?
Wish you could only forgive me
Tell me that I make you happy, oh oh
Promise to love you forever and ever and ever and ever and back
Forever and back

I know that I drink too much
Gamble more than enough
Promise you I'll give it up
And I'll open a bank account
Save up a big amount
Buy back the future we lost

I've been a fool to my princess
Treated you wrong from the start
But oh, when you left me I lost my direction
So tell me that you want me back
Back, back, back, back, back, back

Then would you say that you love me?
I wish you could only forgive me, oh yeah
Tell me that I make you happy
I promise to love you forever and ever and ever and ever and back
Forever and back

And don't be afraid to love again, oh oh
Give me a chance to be better

I've been a fool to my princess
I've treated you wrong from the start
But oh, when you left me I lost my direction
So tell me that you want me back
Back, back, back, back, back, back

Then would you say that you love me?
I wish you could only forgive me
And tell me that I make you happy, oh yeah
I promise to love you forever and ever, ever and back

Say that you love me
Wish you could only forgive me, oh yeah
Tell me that I make you happy
I promise to love you forever, oh oh oh
Forever and back

    "Forever And Back"

    I'm just a simple man

    I am the beast, you're the beauty
    Do you still have feelings for me?
    I know that I said some quite stupid things
    And if only I could take the words back
    Back, back, back, back, back, back

    Then would you say that you love me?
    Wish you could only forgive me
    Tell me that I make you happy, oh oh
    Promise to love you forever and ever and ever and ever and back
    Forever and back

    I know that I drink too much

    (Solo Guitar)

    I've been a fool to my princess

    So tell me that you want me back
    Back, back, back, back, back, back

    Tell me that I make you happy
    I promise to love you forever, oh oh oh
    Forever and back

  19. S.... ....

    This song makes me so nostalgic. I don't know well, but I hope some day she hear me to say: I promise to love you forever and ever and ever and ever and back...

  20. H.... f....

    One of The Best, I thought

  21. C.... U....

    I do hope this is a rough mix production-wise, there's no excuse for a recording in an actual studio to sound this weak. I am not comparing this to today's ultra polished digital mainstream production, I am merely saying that for them to have paid a studio for such a weak sound (especially on the guitar) would be very depressing.

  22. r.... ....

    After hearing the story behind this song it became even better. 👊😋👍

  23. A.... E....

    Beatifull song!!! Wow Paul's solo..... I found my erection!! 💪🏽

  24. B.... ....

    It's like the powers that be DON'T want you to turn it up. Pathetic.

  25. K.... S....

    This track seriously hit home for me, Man. Thank you, Mr. Big.
    I got to sing with Eric a couple of years back in McAllen, TX. Real down to earth guy. He was seriously in deep thought at the time because he had just gotten the news about Pat. Truly heartwarming to see brothers sticking together during these hard times.

  26. J.... G....

    Yup...this is it.

    The guitar solo is " Gilberto's !!!!

  27. m.... ....

    Absolutely in tears!!!!!!! Amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  28. F.... P....

    I think the best song so far (also that amazing solo...)

  29. T.... ....

    Mr. Big sound tired these days:( Sad as they once kick ass!:(

    T.... ....

    They ain't young men anymore. You've gotta give it to them for sticking around so long ESPECIALLY with Pat's condition.

  30. E.... S....

    Wow, this is amazing, absolutely love it!

  31. E.... S....

    Glad to be Mr. Big Fans.. Keep on rockn

    I've enjoyed all three songs I've herd so far but the mix is appalling, killing some good songs. No excuse these days.

    l.... ....

    I know you cant judge a mix on youtube but it sounds as shit on spotify too.

    l.... ....

    I second PD51's comment. Today's mixes are too over the top clean and mechanic. Its annoyed the crap out of me since they started quantizing just about everything in the industry. This is real. This is raw. This is true rock n roll.

    l.... ....

    I've heard better mixing done on some of the worst death metal music on Youtube.

    l.... ....

    Well, when I heard the album for the first time I hated the mix so much. S o m u ch! No excuses. But the more you listen to it, the more you start to understand the beauty hidden somewhere deep ... not for everyone, definitely not. But take your time and get to know it better. You won't regret it, people.

  51. W.... G....

    Great song... one more hit..

  52. M.... m....

    Great work Mr. Big. This album so far is one of my all time favorites!! Amazing! I can not believe this album has not received more attention! Underrated for sure!

    M.... m....

    Alex Bowling it hasn't been released yet. Only individual songs. Cheers!

    ERIC MARTIN!!

    E.... K....

    great line,but the lyrics was wrote by Billy and some swedish friend

  61. L.... S....

    Eric,Paul,Billy,Pat - You guys never disappoint, so thankful you have taken great care of yourselves & have stayed true to the real music we were all raised on & that you create, and haven't changed to fit society or today's meaningless rehashed no melody so called music.

    L.... S....

    Scott lemoine Couldn't have said it better myself!

    L.... S....

    Annastasia666 X
    Thanks my friend. I love these guy so glad they're keeping it going!

    L.... S....

    I was have listened to this band for the last 7 years of my life, and I hope to always have their sweet melody in my head. scott lemoine knows whats up.

  62. S.... ....

    Wonderful... the song itself. And especially EM's voice here.

  63. A.... L....

    i love you guys. see you in Bogotá!

  64. T.... V....

    Just love this song

  65. N.... C....

    Love it

  66. j.... w....

    My favorite so far ...I am ready for the rest of the album...this waiting sux.....great tune ....Eric never disappoints ...he is one of the best all around vocalist period...not much if anything he couldn't sing...main reason from day one when I first heard Mr.big ..his vocals is why I become a fan since first album

    j.... w....

    Eric is amazing! One of the alltime greats!

    j.... w....

    They're like the full package, the bass, the voice, guitar...drums....it works together in perfect harmony. But yeah, all those years ago when I got Lean into it album for Christmas it was Eric's voice that bewitched me.

  67. B.... B....

    I'm just a simple man
    Doing the best I can
    Driving a car I can afford

    Born with a losing hand
    Don't have a master plan
    Trying to do right by the Lord

    I am the beast, you're the beauty
    Do you still have feelings for me?
    I know that I said some quite stupid things
    And if only I could take the words back, back, back, back, back, back, back

    Then would you say that you love me?
    Wish you could only forgive me
    Tell me that I make you happy, oh oh
    Promise to love you forever, forever, forever, forever and back
    Forever and back

    I know that I drink too much
    Gamble more than enough
    Promise you I'll give it up
    And I'll open a bank account
    Save up a big amount
    Buy back the future we lost

    I've been a fool to my princess
    Treated you wrong from the start
    But oh, when you left me I lost my direction
    So tell me that you want me back, back, back, back, back, back, back

    Then would you say that you love me?
    I wish you could only forgive me, oh yeah
    Tell me that I make you happy
    I promise to love you forever, and ever, and ever, and ever and back
    Forever and back

    And don't be afraid to love again, oh oh
    Give me a chance to be better

    I've been a fool to my princess
    I've treated you wrong from the start
    But oh, when you left me I lost my direction
    So tell me that you want me back, back, back, back, back, back, back

    Then would you say that you love me?
    I wish you could only forgive me
    And tell me that I make you happy, oh yeah
    I promise to love you forever, and ever, ever and back

    Say that you love me
    Wish you could only forgive me, oh yeah
    Tell me that I make you happy
    I promise to love you forever
    Oh oh oh
    Forever and back

    B.... B....

    Thanks for transcribing. Are you sure the lyrics aren't "Driving a car I can't afford"? By ear it sounds like it could go either way --  but "can't" makes more sense to me thematically.

    B.... B....

    Yeah, I'm not sure either, but since the line before is "Doing the best I can", it makes more sense (in my mind) to drive a car you can afford. 😂

    B.... B....

    thank you, i put this legends in a site into my country, very very thank you. i am extremely grateful by you
