Tiger by the Tail - Rick Springfield

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
