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

I'm losing weight
And turning kinda pale
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
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...

Well, every night you drag me
Where the bright lights are found
There ain't no way to slow you down
I'm as about as helpless as a leaf in a gale
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
