Got Me By the Tail (Anderson & Simpson)

Gave you my heart
Let it fall right through your hands
The love that your promised babe
You give to another man
I know you've been cheating, baby
Lying to me, too
You give me such a heartache
But I just can't say we're through

Babe, you took my love
Like a hammer on a nail
You just weren't satisfied
But you got me
By the tail

I give you my money
I gave you children too
Sometimes I work overtime
And bring it straight home to you
I'm tired of this beggin', baby
Got the best of me
Go on take this month's rent
And let my tail free

Babe, you took my love
Just like a hammer on a nail
You just wasn't satisfied
'Til you got me
By the tail

Give you the milk
But you want the stool and pail
You just weren't satisfied, babe
You made my life a living hell
I can't stand living with you
Without you I'm lost
Now you've got me by the tail, baby
And now I'm paying the cost

Babe, you took my love
Just like a hammer on a nail
You just weren't satisfied
Til you got me
By the tail

You got me
By the tail
You got me, baby
Yeah
Let it go now, honey

I give you all my money
Help raise your kids, too
I work overtime
And bring it straight home to you

You got me
I say you got me
By my tail
You got me
By the tail
Let it go
Turn it loose
Let me go, baby
Yeah
