Tiger Lyrics - Paula Cole

Where do I put this fire 

This bright red feeling 

This tigerlily down my mouth 

He wants to grow to twenty feet tall 

I've left Bethlehem 

I feel free 

I've left the girl I was supposed to be and 

Someday I'll be born 

I'm so tired of being shy 

I'm not that girl anymore 

I'm not that straight A anymore 

Now I want to sit with my legs wide open and 

Laugh so loud that the whole damn restaurant 

Will turn and look at me and say 

Look at the tiger jumping out of her mouth 

I've left Bethlehem 

I feel free 

I've left the girl I was supposed to be and 

Someday I'll be born 

No more sex-starved teachers 

Trying to touch my ass 

I can finally be a teenager at age twenty-six 

Go to hell lions, tigers, and bears 

I'm not afraid of you anymore 

And my fear ripped apart like fifty balloons 

And I'm thrown around the room like party confetti now 

I've left Bethlehem 

I feel free 

I've left the girl I was supposed to be and 

Someday I'll be born 

Someday I'll be born 

Someday someday someday I'll be born 

Someday someday someday I'll be born
