Big Man In A Little Suit Lyrics

Music by Elton John

Lyrics by Bernie Taupin

Oh I've been staying up nights

Thinking about a long flight that could take me home

Or a slow train rolling

Or a big boat floating out there on that lonely ocean

I'm not the man I was

I guess the dark side lost and the sun broke through

I thought I knew it all

I was the next big thing until I thought about you

Oh I was reaching for the stars

When I wasn't even touching you

I was lying to myself, I needed no one's help

thought I was living proof

When there's one set of footsteps

No one's gonna fill your shoes

Now I'm looking in the mirror

At a big man in a little suit

I'm a big man in a little suit

It's tight on me, hard on you

It's a short cut but it's a long way home

When you think you can make it on you own

You think you're bulletproof

But what you really are

Is a big man in a little suit

I was part of the chain

A face with no name in a place with no soul

By a thief in the night

I was robbed of the light and left nothing, nothing to hold

I've turned my back on a world like that

I want to get back to loving you

Give me one more chance

Won't you warm the hands of this cold headed fool
