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
