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 a losing weight, and I'm turning mighty pale 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 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 I'm a losing weight, and I'm turning mighty pale Yeah, 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 you down I'm as 'bout 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 I'm a losing weight, and I'm turning mighty pale Looks like I've got a tiger by the tail
