Her long legs looked like trouble

As she sasheyed through the door

And my mind flashed a warning sign

That I chose to ignore

For the prize I thought I could win

The risk seemed mighty small

The bigger the fool the harder the fall



Fell in love in the heat of passion

Oh, but passion has it's price

Under all that beauty

Beat a heart that was made of ice

God knows as far as I could see she didn't have a flaw

But the bigger the fool the harder the fall



I said a woman to keep

The softer the skin

The sweeter the love

The more bitter the end

Well, one lesson I've learned that applies to all

The bigger the fool the harder the fall



One day she was lovin' me

The next day she was gone

And I became another verse

To a lonesome heartbreak song

Now that I've learned to face the truth

The words stick in my craw

Well, the bigger the fool the harder the fall



I said a woman to keep

The softer the skin

The sweeter the love

The more bitter the end

Well, one lesson I've learned that applies to all

The bigger the fool the harder the fall

The bigger the fool the harder the fall
