 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
