WANDA JACKSON - I'VE GOT A TIGER BY THE TAIL lyrics

I'VE GOT A TIGER BY THE TAIL

(Harlan Howard - Buck Owens)

« © '64 Blue Book Music »

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 a losing weight and I'm 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 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...

Well every night you drag me where the bright lights're 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

I've got a tiger by the tail...
