Faron Young - Tiger By The Tail lyrics

I've got a tiger by the tail, it's plain to see And I won't be much when you get through with me 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, it's plain to see And I won't be much when you get through with me I'm losin' weight and turnin' mighty pale It looks like I've got a tiger by the tail Well, every night you drag me where the bright lights are found There ain't no way to slow you down I'm about as helpless as a leaf in a gale And it looks like I've got a tiger by the tail
