Under Her Thumb<\/p>\n
I saw you and I couldn\u2019t believe it.
\nShe has you walking a tight wire.
\nDon\u2019t look down, even a little bit.
\nYou will fall into a ring of fire.<\/p>\n
She has you up tight and out of sight.
\nYou have a Tampax syndrome big time.
\nTo treat you this way just isn\u2019t right.
\nShe is going to drive you out of your mind.<\/p>\n
She runs a tight ship.
\nShe won\u2019t stand for the slightest slip.
\nShe will cut you off short.
\nIf you dare to give her a retort.
\nSuch a life is not for you.
\nCut her loose now, you fool!!<\/p>\n
You are really towing the line.
\nYour nose is to the grinding wheel.
\nWhat\u2019s up? Have you lost your mind?
\nYou\u2019re in prison. What did you steal?<\/p>\n
You spend your time running blind.
\nYou are worse than a rat in a maze.
\nYou\u2019re going in circles. Make up your mind.
\nIs this any way to spend your days?<\/p>\n
She runs a tight ship.
\nShe won\u2019t stand for the slightest slip.
\nShe will cut you off short.
\nIf you dare give her a retort.
\nSuch a life is not for you.
\nCut her loose now, you fool!!<\/p>\n
What power has she got over you?
\nCan she do magic? Has she cast a spell?
\nShe\u2019s ugly as a mud fence. That won\u2019t do.
\nI know you got to be living in hell.<\/p>\n
You are a man. Don\u2019t crawl like a worm.
\nFind a way out and take it now.
\nDon\u2019t just stay there continuing to squirm.
\nWalk like a man. Don\u2019t bawl like a cow.<\/p>\n
