I`ve Got A Tiger By The Tail Lyrics

I've got a tiger by the tail, it's plain to see

I won't be much when you get through with me

Well, I'm a losing weight and a turnin' mighty pale

Looks like I've got a tiger by the tail



Well, I thought the day I met you, you were meek as a lamb

Just the kind to fit my dreams and plans

But now the pace we're livin' takes the wind from my sails

And it looks like I've got a tiger by the tail



I've got a tiger by the tail, it's plain to see

I won't be much when you get through with me

Well, I'm a losing weight and a turnin' mighty pale

Looks like I've got a tiger by the tail



Well, every night you drag me where the bright lights are found

There ain't no way to slow you down

I'm as 'bout as helpless as a leaf in a gale

And it looks like I've got a tiger by the tail



I've got a tiger by the tail, it's plain to see

I won't be much when you get through with me

Well, I'm a losing weight and a turnin' mighty pale

Looks like I've got a tiger by the tail
