Jim Rushing - The Bigger The Fool (The Harder The Fall) lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 [Verse 2] Fell in love in the heat of pa**ion Oh, but pa**ion 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 [Chorus] 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 [Verse 3] One day she was loving' 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 [Chorus] 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
