Lyrics I've Got a Tiger By the Tail / Open Up Your Heart (Live) - Buck Owens

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-losin' weight and a-turnin′ mighty pale
It 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
And now, the pace we're livin′
Takes the wind from my sails
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
It looks like I′ve got a tiger by the tail
Open up your heart and let my love come in
Open up your heart and let my life begin
The sun′s a-gonna shine, there'll be blue skies again
When you open up your heart and let my love come in
Well, I know you′ve been hurt by an old love affair
But darling, don't blame me ′cause I wasn't even there
Your long lonely nights, I will bring to an end
When you open up your heart, let my love come in
Well now, open up your heart and let my love come in
Open up your heart and let my life begin
The sun′s gonna shine there'll be blue skies again
When you open up your heart, let my love come in
When you open up your heart, let my love come in
Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha
Ole, thank you
Thank you
