I've Got A Tiger By The Tail

(álbum: Peter And Gordon Sing And Play The Hits Of Nashville Tennessee - 1966)

I've got a tiger by the tail, it's plain to see
I won't be much when you get through with me
I'm a-losing weight and a turning mighty pale
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 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, it's plain to see
I won't be much when you get through with me
I'm a-losing weight and a turning mighty pale
Looks like I've got a tiger by the tail

Ev'ry night you drag me where the bright lights are found
There ain't no way to slow you down
I'm as about as helpless as a leaf in a gale
It looks like 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
I'm a-losing weight and a turning mighty pale
Looks like I've got a tiger by the tail
