Big Me Lyrics

[Verse]
When I talk about it, carries on
Reasons only knew
When I talk about it, Aries or
Treasons all renew

[Chorus]
Big me to talk about it
I could stand to prove
If we can get around it
I know that it's true

[Post-Chorus 1]
Well, I talked about it, carried on
Reasons only knew
But it's you
I fell into


[Verse]
Well, I talked about it, carries on
Reasons only knew
When I talk about it, Aries or
Treasons all renew

[Chorus]
Big me to talk about it
I could stand to prove
If we can get around it
I know that it's true
[Post-Chorus 2]
Well, I talked about it, put it on
Never was it true
But it's you
I fell into


[Outro]
Well, I talked about it, put it on
Never was it true
But it's you
I fell into, I fell into
I fell into

  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Genius Annotation

“Big Me” is a heartfelt ballad written for Dave Grohl’s first wife, Jennifer Youngblood.

It’s best remembered for the music video spoofing Mentos commercials, which Grohl felt it fit as “Big Me” is “this short, tongue-in-cheek, ridiculously candy-coated pop tune”. The video’s success made the band stop playing it for 10 years, given fans would throw Mentos and it felt like a stoning as “Those little … things are like pebbles — they hurt.”
