Album: False Smiles

Under The Thumb

You twisted a nerve you, put your hand on your heart.
You said 'hey don't worry, you're fit woman, that's all that counts now'
I ignored all the usual signs, not really knowing quite why.
Let you decide yeah, aint it funny how I'm finding out now,
It makes me laugh how I let you have your way and your 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 realise, boy, that we were playing games of under the thumb,
I think you took me for a ride,
What a waste of me, oh oh oh.
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, aint it funny how I'm finding out now,
It makes me laugh how I let you have you say and your way,
I've got it now, so I'm asking you babe,
Did I ever even cross your mind?
Cause its 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 realise, boy, that we were playing games of under the thumb,
I think you took me for a ride,
What a waste of me, oh oh oh.
What a waste of me, oh oh oh.
Boy I thought you were for real,
So I could give you more,
But now I want you on your knees begging on the floor.
Did I ever even cross your mind?
Cause its 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 realise (didn't even realise), boy, that we were playing games of under the thumb,
I think you took me for a ride,
What a waste of me, yeah.
Did I ever even cross your mind?
Cause its 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 realise, boy, that we were playing games of under the thumb,
I think you took me for a ride,
What a waste of me, oh oh oh.
