Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Under my thumb
The girl who once had me down
Under my thumb
The girl who once pushed me around
[Chorus]
It's down to me
The difference in the clothes she wears
Down to me
The change has come
She's under my thumb
But ain't it the truth, babe?
[Verse 2]
Under my thumb
Is a squirming dog who's just had her day
Under my thumb
A girl who has just changed her ways
[Chorus]
It's down to me
Yes, it is
The way she does just what she's told
Down to me
The change has come
She's under my thumb
Ah, ah
Say it's alright
[Verse 3]
Under my thumb
Is a Siamese cat of a girl
Under my thumb
She's the sweetest, hmm, pet in the world
[Chorus]
It's down to me
The way she talks when she's spoken to
Down to me
The change has come
She's under my thumb
Ah, take it easy, babe
Yeah
[Chorus]
It's down to me
Oh yeah
The way she talks when she's spoken to
Down to me
The change has come
She's under my thumb
Ah
Yeah, it feels alright
[Verse 4]
Under my thumb
Her eyes are just kept to herself
Under my thumb
Well, I
I can still look at someone else
[Chorus]
It's down to me
Oh, that's what I said
The way she talks when she's spoken to
Down to me
The change has come
She's under my thumb
[Outro]
Say it's alright
Ah, ah
Say it's all, alright
Say it's all
Ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
Take it easy, babe
Ah
Take it easy, babe
Ah
It feels alright
Ah
Ah, take it, take it easy, babe
