Under the Thumb Lyrics by Amy Studt

False Smiles

2003

[Intro]
Ah oh, ah oh, ah oh
Ah oh, ah oh, ah oh
[Verse 1]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
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've 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 (ride, 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 (ride, ride)
What a waste of me, oh, oh, oh
[Verse 2]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
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 got it now so I'm asking you babe, oh woah
[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 (ride, 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 (ride, ride)
What a waste of me, oh, oh, oh
What a wast of me, oh, oh, oh
[Bridge]
Ooh I thought you were for real
So I kept giving more
Ooh now I want you on your knees
Begging on the floor
[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 (ride, 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 (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 realise
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
