[Verse 1]
Under my thumb the girl who once had me down
Under my thumb the girl who once pushed me around

[Chorus]
It's down to me
The difference in the clothes she wears
Down to me, the change has come
She's under my thumb

Ain't it the truth, babe?

[Verse 2]
Under my thumb the squirming dog who's just had her day
Under my thumb a girl who has just changed her ways

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 3]
Under my thumb a Siamese cat of a girl
Under my thumb she's the sweetest, hmmm, pet in the world

[Chorus]
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

[Instrumental Break]
Ah, take it easy babe

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 4]
Under my thumb her eyes are just kept to herself
Under my thumb, well I, I can still look at someone else

[Chorus]
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

[Outro]
Say, it's alright
Say it's all...
Say it's all...

Take it easy babe
Take it easy babe
It feels alright
Take it, take it easy, babe

The Rolling Stones

Formed in London in 1962, The Rolling Stones led the “British Invasion” along with The Beatles and were so successful their influence can be seen in arguably every rock ‘n’ roll band that followed.

Three of the current members have been there since the band’s singer Mick Jagger and guitarist Keith Richards, who write the majority of the band’s catalogue and also produced some albums as The Glimmer Twins; and drummer Charlie Watts. The fourth official member is guitarist Ronnie Wood, who has been there since 1975 (the keyboardist and bassist who play in studio and live are usually not listed). The Stones have released more than 20 studio albums, and even as age caught up on them, continued to be a huge attraction on the live circuit, with big stadium tours continuing through the 1990s, 2000s and into the 2010s.
