I've Got A Tiger By The Tail Lyrics - Jody Miller

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
