You’ve got the loudest bark
But you’ve got no bite
It’s a funny sight to see
Like a paper tiger hanging on a string
Darlin' you don’t bother me

You’re like the fold
I can never iron out of my shirt
Sometimes I wonder if it is worth it
Taking all that you throw at me

You’ve got the loudest bark
But you’ve got no bite
It’s a funny sight to see
Like a paper tiger hanging on a string
Darlin' you don’t bother me

And when you’re told
You’re not the brightest star in the sky
You knock the others down
Just to prove that you’re brighter
But you darken when you’re shedding light

You’ve got the loudest bark
But you’ve got no bite
It’s a funny sight to see
Like a paper tiger hanging on a string
Darlin' you don’t bother me
