Lions and Tigers

Lyrics and Music by Kevin Gillis, Jon Stroll

Transcription by Jim Gilsinan IV


Lions and tigers,
Look how they move:
Slip through the jungle,
Moving so smooth.

Down to the water,
Over the plain,
Leaving their lovers,
And back again.

Oh, lions and tigers,
What can I do?
Dial the number,
Soon I'll get through...

Don't leave me hanging,
Lying too long,
Wagging your tail
All night long!

All night long!

Well, there you go now:
You've walked out that door
Like nothing's gonna bring you
Back no more.

And I'm wandering in circles
So small...
Hoping to Heaven you'll call!

Lions and tigers
All of the time:
They got Bain de Soleil
So much to go by.

Something's gone crazy,
Just gotta get through.
Sweating it, baby,
I'm a lion for you!

Lying for you!

Well, there you go now:
You've walked out that door
Like nothing's gonna bring you
Back no more.

And I'm wandering in circles
So small...
Hoping to Heaven you'll call!

I love you to pieces,
That's all...

Wandering in circles,
Wandering in circles
So small.

I'm a lion for you!

Lying for you!
Lying for you!

Well, there you go now:
You've walked out that door
Like nothing's gonna bring you
Back no more.

And I'm wandering in circles
So small...
Hoping to Heaven you'll call!

I love you to pieces,
That's all...

(repeat, etc)
