The Tail Gators Follow

I won't be much when you get through with me
Oh, I'm losing weight and I'm turning mighty pale
Well, 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 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
Oh, I'm losing weight and I'm turning mighty pale
Well, it looks like I've got a tiger by the tail

Well, every night you drag me where the bright lights are found
Oh, there ain't no way to slow you down
Oh, 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
Oh, I'm losing weight and I'm turning mighty pale
Looks like I've got a tiger by the tail

I won't be much when you get through with me
Oh, I'm losing weight and I'm turning mighty pale
