Under my thumb, the girl who once had me down
Under my thumb, the girl who once pushed me around

It's down to me, the difference in the clothes she wears
Down to me, the change has come, she's under my thumb

Ain't it the truth, babe ?

Under my thumb, the squirmin' dog who's just had her day
Under my thumb, a girl who has just changed her ways

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

Under my thumb, a siamese cat of a girl
Under my thumb, she's the sweetest pet in the world

It's down to me, oh yeah, the way she does just what she's told
Down to me, the change has come, she's under my thumb

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

Under my thumb, her eyes are just kept to herself
Under my thumb, I, I can still look at someone else
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

Take it easy, babe
Take it easy, babe
