sara evans - 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 a losing weight and a 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 make my dreams and plans
but now the pace we're livin'
takes the wind from my sail
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 a losing weight and a turnin' mighty pale
looks like i've got a tiger by the tail

every night you drag me where
the bright lights are 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
it's plain to see
i won't be much when you get through with me
well, i'm a losing weight and a turnin' mighty pale
looks like i've got a tiger by the tail
