Under the Thumb Songtext
von Amy Studt

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 yes, 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′ve 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
Boy, that we were playing games of under the thumb
I think you took me for a ride, ride, 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
And 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've had it now
So I'm asking you, babe, oh whoa

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
Boy, that we were playing games of under the thumb
I think you took me for a ride, ride, ride
What a waste of me

Oh, oh, oh
What a waste of me
Oh, oh, oh

Ooh, I thought you were for real, so I could give in more
Ooh, now I want you on your knees, begging on the floor


Did I ever even cross your mind? (Did I 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
Boy, that we were playing games of under the thumb
I think you took me for a ride, ride, 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, ride, ride
But I didn′t see
I didn′t even realize
Boy, that we were playing games of under the thumb

I think you took me for a ride, ride, ride
What a waste of me

Oh, oh, oh
