All the big fools in town got together

Every hopeless lovin' heart I know was here

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 a little golden statue

Of the torch that I carried 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 mine up beside

Any foolish love in town

'Cause there's none can hold a light

To this torch I carried round

I can't say that I'm to 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

I'll put mine up beside

Any foolish love in town

'Cause there's none can hold a light

To this torch I carried round

I can't say that I'm to 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

Yes you make me the big fool of the year
