I´ve got a tiger by the tail, it´s plain to see I won´t be much when you get through with me And I´m losing weight and I´m turning mighty pale And it looks like I´ve got a tiger by the tail
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 tail, it´s plain to see I won´t be much when you get through with me And I´m losing weight and turning mighty pale God, 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 as ´bout 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´s plain to see I won´t be much when you get through with me And I´m losing weight and I´m turning mighty pale And it looks like I´ve got a tiger by the tail
