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 losin' weight and turnin' 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 But 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... [ guitar + sax ] Every night you drag me where the bright lights're found There ain't no way of slowin' you down I'm as 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... Yeah it looks like I've got a tiger by the tail
