I’ve Got a Tiger By the Tail

Lyrics

[Chorus] 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-turning mighty pale Looks like I've got a tiger by the tail [Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] 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-turning mighty pale Looks like I've got a tiger by the tail [Instrumental Break] [Verse 2] 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, a leaf in a gale And it looks like I've got a tiger by the tail [Chorus] 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-turning mighty pale Looks like I've got a tiger by the tail
