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 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
it's plain to see
I won't be much when
you get through with me
Well I'm losing weight
and I'm turning
mighty pale
It looks like I've got
a tiger by the tail
Well 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, 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's plain to see
I won't be much when
you get through with me
Well I'm losing weight
and I'm turning
mighty pale
Looks like I've got
a tiger by the tail
