Chorus: I've got a tiger by the tail that's plain to see
i won't be much when you get through with me
well i'm losin' wait and turin' mighty pail
and it looks like i've got a tiger by the tail
VERSE 1: well every night you drag me where the bright lights are found
there ain't know way you're slowin' me down
i'm about as helpless as a leapin' ligale
and it looks like i've got a tiger by the tail
REPEAT Chorus
VERSE 2: i thought the day i met you you were neat as a lamb
just the kind that bit my dreams and plans
now the pase that we've been livin' takes the wind from my sails
and it looks like i've got a tiger by the tail
REPEAT Chorus
