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



Chorus:

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



(Solo)



I grabbed the tiger by the tail, I grabbed the tiger by the tail



At times life can be so enlightning, but it can turn on you

Lately it gets so complicated that I don't know what the tiger will do



chorus repeats out
