I work hard everyday
Come rain or shine
And I don’t need no one
To tell me ’bout a girl of mine
She’s got so much love
And she saves it all for me
I would not be lying
That’s the way it’s got to be

So Mr. Big
You’d better watch out
When only you hang around me
Oh for you now
I will dig
A great big hole in the ground.

I don’t care who you are
So don’t explain
Just get out of here
And don’t come back again
I don’t want a thing from you
I don’t want to give you nothing too
Get out of here
Before I lose my cool.

Mr. Big
Oh watch out
Baby and don’t you hang around me
Oh for you now
I will dig
A great big hole in the ground.

So Mr. Big
You’d better watch out
When only you hang around me
Oh for you now
I will dig
A great big hole in the ground

If you have an interest in the structure of words and phrases, you can dissect the lyrics to Mr. Big by Free in multiple ways. The word "lyric" itself derives from the Latin word lyricus, with the actual English word lyrics applied to the definition "words set to music" listed in Stainer and Barrett's 1876 Dictionary of Musical Terms. Continuing the chain, the Latin word lyricus derives from the Greek word λυρικός or lyrikós. This somewhat means "poetry accompanied by the lyre" or "words set to music." You can easily see that by looking at the background of the word lyric, that the "lyrics to Mr. Big" means the words set to the music of Mr. Big, or poetry accompanied by the lyre played by Free. The singular form "lyric" is still used to mean the complete words to a song. However, the singular form lyric is also commonly used to refer to a specific line (or phrase) within a song's lyrics.
