[Chorus] 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 [Verse 1] Well the first day that 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 [Chorus] [Verse 2] Well every night you drag me where the bright lights are found There aren'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 [Chorus] [Outro] I've got a tiger by the tail
