Under my thumb
The girl who once had me down
Under my thumb
The girl who once pushed me around
It's down to me
The difference in the clothes she wears
Down to me, the change has come
She's under my thumb
And ain't it the truth babe?
Under my thumb
It's a squirmin' dog who's just had her day
Under my thumb
A girl who has just changed her ways
It's down to me
Yes it is
The way she does just what she's told down to me
The change has come
She's under my thumb
Ah, ah, say it's alright
Under my thumb
Is a Siamese cat of a girl
Under my thumb
She's the sweetest, hm, pet in the world
It's down to me
The way she talks when she's spoken to
Down to me, the change has come
She's under my thumb
Ah, take it easy babe
Yeah
It's down to me, oh yeah
The way she talks when she's spoken to
Down to me, the change has come
She's under my thumb
Yeah, it feels alright
Under my thumb
Her eyes are just kept to herself
Under my thumb, well I
I can still look at someone else
It's down to me, oh, that's what I said
The way she talks when she's spoken to
Down to me, the change has come
She's under my thumb
Say, it's alright
Say it's all
Say it's all
Take it easy babe
Take it easy babe
Feels alright
Take it, take it easy babe

Probably the most self-assured, coolest song ever written. Not that I think this song is cool, but that this song KNOWS it's cool. It's cool in its being, in its playing, and in its very existance. The guitar knows it's cool. The keyboard knows it's cool. Mick knows he's cool.
Truest comment ever. Me and my mate often talk about what it is to be 'bad ass', but this song just defines bad ass in every single way. Mick is probably the coolest cat to have ever lived.
From my perspective, it's the opposite of cool and self assured. A cool, self assured man doesn't have to treat a woman like this. He knows his worth, and he knows her worth, and they are partners. This is a song about hate.
