Peaked at # 3 in 1959
Fabian Forte`s all-time biggest hit, which ain`t sayin` much `cause he
only had 8 in the Top 40!
Hey. lumpa sugar, you look kinda sweet
Cuter than a baby walkin` down the street
When I look into your eyes, I wanna leap
I can`t conceal that you make me feel
Like a tiger, ooh, ooh, ooh, like a tiger
Ooh, ooh, ooh, just to see you smile nearly drives me wild
I wanna growl wow!
I`m feelin` stronger than a grizzly bear
Soarin` like an eagle flyin` through the air
When I get you in my arms, you`d better beware
I go insane `cause I can`t be tamed
Like a tiger, ooh, ooh, ooh, like a tiger
Ooh, ooh, ooh, just to see you smile nearly drives me wild
I wanna growl wow!
BRIDGE:
You keep my heart jumpin` like a kangaroo
Floatin` like an onion in a bowl of stew
Baby, ev`ry time you come in view
I run like an antelope to get to you
I`m your tiger and you`re my mate
Hurry up, buttercup, and don`t be late
I might get mad if I have to wait
Come right now `cause I`m on the prowl
Like a tiger, ooh, ooh, ooh, like a tiger
Ooh, ooh, ooh, just to see you smile nearly drives me wild
I wanna growl wow!
