Lyrics
Cougar On My Tail
I've got me a cougar on my tail
She's heard what I'm able to do
An old love told her I could give her ten
Even though it's a closer to two
She's had enough of men who tell her what to do
Or worse tell her how to think.
No she knows she's better in control
She can handle the right foot stink.
Girls though fine ain't really my
Little piece of heaven
No womankind sees it's prime
At two score and seven
Wise enough to realise old is just a frame of mind
Of times gone by.
Liberation holds forever we are told
A life of greater meaning
Girls be bold breaking the mould
Say " I want what I need ".
Girls though fine ain't really my
Little piece of heaven
No womankind sees it's prime
At two score and seven
Wise enough to realise old is just a frame of mind
Of times gone by.
Rumbles from the east hailing a breed
Independent of assurance
Many will display unease of this way
Well , stay out the way of progress.
I've got me a cougar on my tail
But I have no reason to falter
My old lady knows what she gives me at home
Would make every grown man weep.
