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

If you would only see me now . . .
