Tell all the hunters to lay down their guns
Tell 'em that the tiger needs a little bit of love
Let 'em run the jungle, let 'em roam their land
Then stand back and marvel, what a beautiful cat

'Cause I saw tiger
Now I understand
I saw tiger, and the tiger saw man

I can give them a home, safe and warm
But the law wants to ban me, can you tell me who's wrong?
Every time they move, every time they breathe
I can feel their power, I can feel their beast

'Cause I saw tiger
Now I understand
I saw tiger, and the tiger saw man

Well, I saw a tiger, now I understand
I saw a tiger, and the tiger saw a man

Time is a-tickin', will soon be gone
So you better take a picture
What a sad, sad song
All that armageddon, such a painful loss
When they kill all the tigers in the holocaust

'Cause I saw tiger
Now I understand
I saw tiger, and the tiger saw man

I saw a tiger, and the tiger saw a man
Well, I saw a tiger, now I understand
Well, I saw a tiger, now I understand
I saw a tiger, and the tiger saw a man
Ooh, I saw a tiger, do you understand
I saw a tiger, and the tiger saw a man
