[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 a-turning mighty pale
Looks like I've got a tiger by the tail
[Verse 1]
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
[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 a-turning mighty pale
Looks like I've got a tiger by the tail
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 2]
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, a leaf in a gale
And it looks like I've got a tiger by the tail
[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 a-turning mighty pale
Looks like I've got a tiger by the tail
