Under My Thumb Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Under my thumb, the girl (Under my thumb)
Who once had me down
Under my thumb, the girl (Under my thumb)
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

[Verse 2]
Under my thumb, this squirming dog
Who's just had her day
Under my thumb, this girl
Who has just changed her ways

[Chorus]
It's down to me
The way she does just what she's told
Down to me, the change has come
She's under my thumb

[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
[Verse 3]
Under my thumb, this Siamese
Cat of a girl
Under my thumb, she's the sweetest
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

[Outro]
Yes, she's under my thumb
Babe, she's under my thumb
Yes, she's under my thumb

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
