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 I'm turning 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

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

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 I'm turning mighty pale

Looks like I've got a tiger by the tail

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

There ain't no way to slow you down

I'm about 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

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 I'm turning mighty pale

Looks like I've got a tiger by the tail
