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
Well I'm losing weight and turning mighty pale looks like I've got a tiger by the tail

Well 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

Well every night you drag me where the bright lights are found
There ain't no way to try 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
I've got a tiger by the tail

Looks like I've got a tiger by the tail
