Big Fool Of The Year

(album: Eleven Roses - 1972)

All the big fools in town got together
Every hopeless loving heart I know was there
We all sat around and told our own sad story
Then they made me the big fool of the year

Oh, they gave to me this little golden statue
Of the torch that I carry for you dear
They said no one else could even come close to me
And that I was the big fool of the year

I'll put my love beside any foolish love in town
Cause there's none can hold a light to this torch I carry 'round

I can't say that I'm too proud of the honor
But then I guess I do deserve it dear
For to love you after all you've made me suffer
Surely makes me the big fool of the year

It surely makes me the big fool of the year
