MR. BIG STUFF...WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE???
Edited on Mon Feb-07-05 10:18 PM by SCRUBDASHRUB
Mr Big Stuff
by Pointer Sisters

Mr big stuff, who do you think you are?
Mr big stuff, you're never gonna get my love

Not because yo wear all those fancy clothes
and have a big fine car oh yes you do now
Do you think I can't afford to give you my love
You think you're higher than every star above

Chorus
Mr big stuff, who do you think you are?
Mr big stuff, you're never gonna get my love

Now I know all the girls I've seen you with
I know you broke their hearts and eat them up bit by bit
You made them cry,
Many poor girls cry
When they trying to keep you happy,
They just trying ta keep you satisfied

Chorus
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 is true
(Oh yeah)
Then to be fooled by,
And get hurt by you

Cause when I give my love,
I want love in return (oh yeah)
Now I know this is a lesson
Mr.Bigstuff you haven't learned

Mr.Bigstuff, tell me, who do you think you are?
Mr.Bigstuff, you're never gonna get my love
Mr.Bigstuff, you're never gonna break my heart
Mr.Bigstuff, you're never gonna make me cry x3

8. Ever hear the Odd Couple's version?
Randall and Klugman did an LP in 1974. Their version of "You're So Vain" is fucking hilarious!

11. Nightrain, I'm still on the disco kick from this weekend. I guess
I need some temporary 'forget about all the crap going on in the world' music to cheer me up.

12. Oh boy, do I know how you feel!
Today in my delivery vehicle, I didn't listen to a single minute of Air America, which is very rare for me. Instead, I brought in some CDs and spent this unusually warm winter day grooving to Bobby Darin, the Beach Boys, and Dizzy Gillespie, among others.

Sometimes you just have to get away from news and politics!

17. I love your ID (lady effingbroke; don't I know it?!), btw.
My hubby bought it for me a couple of years ago. It is a kick ass collection (love the shag carpet on the cover of the set?!). I agree; Rhino Records rocks!
