Mr. big stuff who do you think you are?
Mr. big stuff you're never gonna get my love.
now because you wear all those fancy clothes
and have a big fine car oh yes you do now.
do you think I can afford to give you my love.
you think you're higher than every star above.
now I know all the girls I've seen you with,
bit by bit you've made em cry when they try
to keep you happy they just try to keep you
satisfied.
Mr big stuff tell me tell me
who do you think you are ?
Mr big stuff you're never gonna get my love
I'd rather give my love to a poor guy that has
a love that's true.
than to be fooled around and hurt by you
cause when I give my love I want love in return.
now i know this is a lesson Mr big stuff you havent
learned.
Mr big stuff tell me who do think you are ?
Mr big stuff you're never gonna get my love.
Mr big stuff you're never gonna break my heart.
Mr big stuff you're never gonna make me cry.
Mr big stuff tell me who do you think you are?
Mr big stuff you're never get my love Mr big stuff.
