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 losing weight and turning mighty pale looks like I've got a tiger by the tailWell 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 living 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 tailWell every night you drag me where the bright lights are found

There ain't no way to try 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 tailLooks like I've got a tiger by the tail
