David Houston - I've Got A Tiger By The Tail lyrics

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
