I've Got a Tiger by the Tail (with Commentary) Songtext
von Buck Owens

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 turnin' 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, it′s plain to see
I won't be much when you get through with me
Well, I′m losing weight and turnin' mighty pale
Looks like 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 slow you down
I′m as 'bout 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, it′s plain to see
I won't be much when you get through with me
Well, I′m losing weight and turnin' mighty pale
Looks like I've got a tiger by the tail
