Two stars, Holyfield's ear

Riding high at number one,
the best of the month and year,
and then comes along just that one,
that bites off my Holyfield ear.

Couldn't hear what it was I say,
probably didn't care anyway

slammed me with only two stars,
like a hit below the belt.

The pain of a job well done,
now with this awful welt 

could the multitudes all be wrong
was it not that good

or did it fall on deaf ears,
like those that are made of wood
