Under The Thumb
You twisted a nerve, you put your hand on your heart and You said, 'Hey, don't worry, you're fit woman, that's all that counts' And I ignored all the usual signs, not really knowing quite why I let you decide, yeah Ain't it funny how, I'm finding out now It makes me laugh, how I let you have your way And you say I got it now, so I'm asking you, babe Did I ever even cross your mind? 'Cause it's not a game of who is under the thumb I think you took me for a ride, but I didn't see I didn't even realize Whether we were playing games or under the thumb I think you took me for a ride, what a waste of me A pro at the sweet talk, back into your bedroom again like A fool I went blindly, as soon as I got the invite, yes I ignored all the usual signs, swallowed it down with my pride Let you decide, yeah Ain't it funny how, I'm finding out now It makes me laugh, how I let you have your say And your way I got it now, so I'm asking you, babe Did I ever even cross your mind? 'Cause it's not a game of who is under the thumb I think you took me for a ride, but I didn't see I didn't even realize Whether we were playing games or under the thumb I think you took me for a ride, what a waste of me What a waste of me Oh, I thought you were for real, so I kept giving more Oh, now I want you on your knees, begging on the floor Did I ever even cross your mind? 'Cause it's not a game of who is under the thumb I think you took me for a ride, but I didn't see I didn't even realize Whether we were playing games or under the thumb I think you took me for a ride, what a waste of me Did I ever even cross your mind? 'Cause it's not a game of who is under the thumb I think you took me for a ride, but I didn't see I didn't even realize Whether we were playing games or under the thumb I think you took me for a ride, what a waste of me
