Tiger By The Tail

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

What a shock it was so surprising

You looked so small and frail

I didn't know what to do

I grabbed the Tiger By The Tail

I grabbed the Tiger By The Tail

I grabbed the Tiger By The Tail

People said that you must be joking

You let emotions run away with you

I realized a little too late

I bit off more than I could chew

I grabbed the Tiger By The Tail

I grabbed the Tiger By The Tail

Sometimes you grip it right

And sometimes you fail

I grabbed the Tiger By The Tail

I grabbed the Tiger By The Tail

I grabbed the Tiger By The Tail

At times life can be so enlightening

But it can turn on you

Lately it gets so complicated… I

I don't know what the tiger will do

I grabbed the Tiger By The Tail

I grabbed the Tiger By The Tail

Sometimes you grip it right

And sometimes you fail

I grabbed the Tiger By The Tail

I grabbed the Tiger By The Tail

I grabbed the Tiger By The Tail

Sometimes you grip it right

And sometimes you fail

I grabbed the Tiger By The Tail
