Tiger

Paula Cole

Where do I put this fire 
This bright red feeling 
This tiger lily down my mouth 
He wants to grow to twenty feet tall 

Chorus 
I've left Bethlehem 
I feel free 
I've left the girl I was supposed to be and 
Someday I'll be born 
I'm so tired of being shy 
I'm not that girl anymore 
I'm not that straight A anymore 
Now I want to sit with my legs wide open and 
Laugh so loud that the whole damn restaurant 
Will turn and look at me and say 
Look at the tiger jumping out of her mouth 

Chorus 

No more sex-starved teachers 
Trying to touch my ass 
I can finally be a teenager at age twenty-six 
Go to hell lions, tigers, and bears 
I'm not afraid of you anymore 
And my fear broke apart like fifty balloons 
And I'm thrown around the room like party confetti now 

Chorus 

Someday I'll be born 
Someday someday someday I'll be born 
Someday someday someday I'll be born 
High and noon (x13)
