I've been sizing you up and stuff
Watching you live life large
Enough for the both of us
To big up the love

Got the measure of the man in you
It's more than the sum of the parts
It's true what they say
You gotta big up the love

I was checking nice things you do
Standing in the Starbucks queue
You buy coffee for a stranger
Who's down on their luck

Random acts of kindness flow
Compassion from a hand I'd like to hold
It does it for me
And I can't get enough

Don't confuse me when I say
Please don't take this the wrong way

You can lead a heart to love
But you can't make it fall
I'm tired of loving small 'cause…

Size matters (size matters)
But not how you think
I'm talking 'bout your heart
And what you do with it

The more seeds you plant
The more flowers will grow
So, big up the love 'til it overflows

Most brooks too shallow to swim in
Only interested in one thing
It's all so meaningless
'Cause puddles dry up

A view of the world so small
It limits the size of the dream
And you achieving it
A new panorama
With your arms around me
I see my life how it should be

You can lead a heart to love
But you can't make it fall
I'm tired of loving small 'cause…

Size matters (size matters)
But not how you think
I'm talking 'bout your heart
And what you do with it

The more seeds you plant
The more flowers will grow
So, big up the love 'til it overflows
(Big up the love)
Big up the love 'til it overflows

Big it up, big it up
Big it up
Big it up, big it up
When size matters
Big it up, big it up
Big up the love
Big it up, big it up

You can lead a heart to love
But you can't make it fall
I'm tired of loving small

The size matters (size matters)
But not how you think
I'm talking 'bout your heart
And what you do with it

The more seeds you plant
The more flowers will grow
So, big up the love (big up the love) 'til it overflows
(big it up, big it up)
Big up the love 'til it overflows

Big it up, big it up
(big it up, big it up)
Big it up, big it up

It's the little things you do
That show me how big you are

So, big up the love 'til it overflows
