Thanks to that the single sold 10,000 copies in a week. Because of this success, "Big Thing" was released on the A-side, and "Thinking About His Baby" on its B-side. For this release, "Big Thing" was also remixed by Blue Zone (Big Dub Club Mix). Although Blue Zone's 1988 album was titled Big Thing, it did not feature "Big Thing." The song was later included on "This Is the Right Time" single (1989), The Complete Collection box set (2003), and "Easier/Treat Me Like a Woman" single (2004).

Love is a big thing and we've got love
We don't need nobody else
Love is a big thing and we've got love
We don't need nobody else
Love is a big thing

I'm living for your lovin', baby
And for the next time
Nothings getting in the way
There's nothing I can fight

I can wait forever, baby
To be by your side
I can wait forever, baby
To be with you again

Need your body keepin' me warm
Need your touch to keep me going

Love is a big thing and we've got love
We don't need nobody else
Love is a big thing and we've got love
We don't need nobody else
Love is a big thing

Gonna tell the world about you
And all you've given me
No one gives me lovin', baby
The way you give me love

I'm waiting for your arms to hold me
And just to touch your face
I'm living for your lovin', baby
And for the next time

Need your body keepin' me warm
Need your touch to keep me going

Love is a big thing and we've got love
We don't need nobody else
Love is a big thing and we've got love
We don't need nobody else
Love is a big thing

I'm living for your lovin', baby
And for the next time
Nothings getting in the way
There's nothing I can fight

I can wait forever, baby
To be by your side
I can wait forever, baby
To be with you again

Need your body keepin' me warm
Need your touch to keep me going

Love is a big thing and we've got love
We don't need nobody else
Love is a big thing and we've got love
We don't need nobody else
Love is a big thing

I can wait forever
I can wait forever
