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 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...

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...
