[Verse 1]
Under my thumb
The man who once had me down
Under my thumb
The guy who once pushed me around

[Chorus]
It's down to me
Yes it is
The way he does what he's told
It's down to me, the change has come
He's under my thumb
Ain't it the truth babe?

[Verse 2]
Under my thumb
The squirming worm who's just had his day
Under my thumb
A guy who has just changed his ways

[Chorus]
It's down to me, yes it is
The way he speaks when he's spoken to
It's down to me, things has changed
Now he's under my thumb
It's down to me, yes it is
The way he does just what he's told
It's down to me, change has come
Now he's under my thumb

[Verse 3]
Under my thumb, my thumb
I've got the king of dogs in my hand
Under my thumb (your thumb)
I made him, ooh, the sweetest cat in the world
It's down to me

[Chorus]
The way he speaks when he's spoken to
Down to me, the change has come
Now he's under my thumb

[Outro]
Under my thumb
The guy who once had me down
He's under my thumb, yes he is
I got him where I want him to be
Under my thumb, he's everything that I want him to be
