Jody Miller - 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 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
