I was a big man yesterday but boy you oughta see me now Well I talked big yesterday, but boy you oughta see me now I bragged too long that your love was strong There'd never be another guy But you said more when you whispered your goodbye I was a big man yesterday but boy you oughta see me now I said that I was through with you I didn't need you anyhow I said I didn't need you then But boy you oughta see me now Those bragging words that you were mine Of that there was no doubt So empty now that half my life's walked out Half my life left me yesterday And boy you oughta see me now If you will just forgive me dear I'll never break another vow I broke so many yesterday And boy you oughta see me now I couldn't see it yesterday But now I know it's true The only thing that made me big was you I was a big man yesterday but boy you oughta see me now If you could only see me now You should see me now
