When he's dancin', baby
Knows just how to move
When he's in a jam
He knows just what to do
He's talking', baby
Knows just what to say
Think what you want
He don't care anyway
But,
Something is missing
Mr. Big
Something is missing
Mr. Big
You can see him, yeah
He's always on the town
And he's dressed to kill
He always looks so fine
When he wants to walk
He'll walk all over you
But,
Something is missing
Mr. Big
So what's the problem
Mr. Big
Don't look so happy
Mr. Big
Something is missing
Mr. Big
When he's dancin', baby
Knows just how to move
When he's in a jam
He knows just what to do
When he wants to walk
He'll walk all over you
He don't do the things
That little people do
But,
Something is missing
Mr. Big
So what's the problem
Mr. Big
Don't look so happy
Mr. Big
Something is missing
Mr. Big
Knows just how to move
When he's in a jam
He knows just what to do
He's talking', baby
Knows just what to say
Think what you want
He don't care anyway
But,
Something is missing
Mr. Big
Something is missing
Mr. Big
You can see him, yeah
He's always on the town
And he's dressed to kill
He always looks so fine
When he wants to walk
He'll walk all over you
But,
Something is missing
Mr. Big
So what's the problem
Mr. Big
Don't look so happy
Mr. Big
Something is missing
Mr. Big
When he's dancin', baby
Knows just how to move
When he's in a jam
He knows just what to do
When he wants to walk
He'll walk all over you
He don't do the things
That little people do
But,
Something is missing
Mr. Big
So what's the problem
Mr. Big
Don't look so happy
Mr. Big
Something is missing
Mr. Big

Great song! I think the meaning of this song is pretty obvious. It's about a man who seems to have everything together: he can dance, he can get himself out of problems, dresses well, a smooth-talker who will get his way and 'walk all over you'. However, 'something is missing' in his life. I think calling him 'Mr Big' paints him as an arrogant person who has talked himself up. In actual fact, despite all his perceived perfection, he's actually an unhappy person inside (maybe he has no friends or partner because of his attitude!). It's like Iva is calling him out on it. Perhaps this guy just needs to take a step back and stop trying so hard, get some humility, and maybe then he will find happiness.
Yes I probably didn't need to go into so much detail, but isn't what this site is all about? :)
