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

rate me

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
