Big Man in a Little Suit Songtext
von Elton John

Oh, I′ve been staying up nights
Thinking 'bout 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 shortcut, but it's a long way home
When you think you can make it on your own

You think you′re bulletproof
But what you really are
Is a big man in a little suit

Oh, 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 with 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?

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 shortcut, but it's a long way home
When you think you can make it on your own

You think you're bulletproof
But what you really are
Is a big man in a little suit

It′s tight on me, hard on you
It′s a shortcut, but it's a long way home
When you think you can make it on your own

You think you′re bulletproof
But what you really are
Is a big man in a little suit

A big man in a little suit
