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 turnin' 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 make my dreams and plans But now the pace we're livin' takes the wind from my sail 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 turnin' mighty pale Looks like I've got a tiger by the tail [Verse 2] Every night you drag me where the bright lights are 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 [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 turnin' mighty pale Looks like I've got a tiger by the tail
