Under The Thumb Lyrics
You twisted a nerve
You put your hand on my 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 your say
I got it now
So I'm asking you, babe
[chorus]
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
Oh, under the thumb
I think you took me for a ride
What a waste of me
You prowl with 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 got it now
So I'm asking you, babe, whoa...
[chorus]
What a waste of me
Oh, I thought you were for real so I could give you more
Oh, now I want you on your knees begging on the floor
[chorus 2x]
You put your hand on my 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
I'm finding out now
It makes me laugh
How I let you have
Your way and your 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
Boy, that we were playing games
Oh, under the thumb
I think you took me for a ride
What a waste of me
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
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, whoa...
Oh, now I want you on your knees begging on the floor

isnt the lyric 'a pro at the sweet talk'? thats what i heard.. i think it kind of makes more sense. but anyway. anyway yeah this song is basically a song about a guy who just likes her for the way she looks and is kind of using her and he just wants to sleep with her. jerk. these kind of guys should be neutered. anyway great song :D
Id say this is about a woman and her boyfriend is basically using her for sex. He dont seem to care about her personality just how she looks and what he can get out of her. "Your fit woman thats all that counts" & "You prowl with the sweet talk Back into your bedroom again Like a fool I went blindly As soon as I got the invite" basically shows that. So hes just like most men I know. Except one..x
