Ain't Seen Love Like That by Mr. Big

Bump Ahead was the 1st Mr. Big album me and my brothers owned. There was a time when we thought of ourselves as rock stars. I forgot which member of Mr. Big i turned out to be, but those days were fun. We'd listen to cassette tapes as a group, when there's nothing to do, especially on summer and Christmas vacations from school. This song probably suffered in terms of like-ability as the token acoustic song in a Mr. Big album by the presence of the Cat Stevens cover Wild World, but still ranks as one of my favorite Mr. Big songs! I even tried to learn the guitar parts for this.



I've been miles from nowhere
Crossed and doubled back
Time is a healer
And I've done my time
Cause I ain't seen love like that

I've seen the light of freedom
Dim and fade to black
So many faces, but no one compares
No, I ain't seen love like that

And I got people telling me to let her go
Don't let it turn you around
Tomorrow's comin' and you'll never know
The one that you lost may be found

I believe in justice
I wonder where's she's at
It feels like a lifetime
And it just ain't fair
No I ain't seen love like that

And I got people tellin' me to let her go
That girl is bringin' you down
Tomorrow's comin'
And you'll never
The love that you lost may be found

You know that people telling me to let her go
Dont' let it trun you around
Tomorrow's comin' and you'll never know
The love that you lost may be found
No, I ain't seen love like that
So many faces, (ain't seen love like that)
No one compares I ain't seen love like that
(ain't seen love like that) ain't seen love....
(ain't seen love like that) no I ain't
