I've got a tiger by the tail it's plain to see
|
And I won't be much when you get through with me
|
I'm losing weight and turning mighty pale and it looks like I've got a tiger by the tail
|
|
Now I've 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 living takes the wind from the sails
|
And it looks like I've got a tiger by the tail
|
I've got a tiger by the tail...
|
[ guitar ]
|
Now every night you drag me where the bright lights are found
|
There ain't no way to slow you down
|
And 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...
|
It looks like I've got a tiger by the tail
|
