Big Love

by John Hiatt

on Little Village (1992)

I need a love that won't get lost

Do you know where this love can be found?
Do you know where this love can be found?
Open up your eyes; take a look around
Do you know where this love can be found?

'cause I'm a full-grown man
And I'm lookin' for a big love

I need a love gonna move this mountain
I need a love that I can't hide away
I need a love gonna lift me up to that drinking fountain
Just like my daddy did in my younger days

Now is this love gonna get up off the ground
Is this love gonna get up off the ground
I need a fifty-foot woman to wrap these arms around
Is this love gonna get up off the ground

'cause I'm a full-grown man
And I'm looking for a big love

I never did just a little drinking
I could drink the milky way
Think small and your heart starts shrinking
I'm here to stay

Got to have your big love
I got to have it right away

I need love as big as an ocean
I need a love that can't be crossed
I need love in perpetual motion
I need a love that don't get lost

'cause I'm a full-grown man
And I'm looking for a big love
