I've Got A Tiger By The Tail 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 turning mighty pale It 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 But 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 Well, I'm a losing weight and turning mighty pale It looks like I've got a tiger by the tail Every night you drag me where the bright lights are found There ain't no way to slow me 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 it's plain to see I won't be much when you get through with me Well, I'm a losing weight and turning mighty pale It looks like I've got a tiger by the tail Well, it looks like I've got a tiger by the tail
