Under My Thumb
Anakelly Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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,
Under my thumb
The 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
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
She's under my thumb
The lyrics of Anakelly's song "Under My Thumb" describe a man who is now in control of a girl who previously had power over him. He sings about how the girl was, at one point, able to push him around and have him under her control, but now he is the one in charge. The lyrics "Under my thumb, the girl who once had me down" and "Under my thumb, the girl who once pushed me around" both describe this shift in power dynamics.
The man takes credit for the changes that have occurred in the girl's behavior and appearance, stating "Down to me, the difference in the clothes she wears" and "Down to me, yes it is, the way she does just what she's told." He even asserts control over her communication, saying "The way she talks when she's spoken to."
The song's lyrics could be interpreted as misogynistic, suggesting that it is acceptable for men to exert control over women. However, it could also be read as a commentary on power dynamics in relationships and how they can shift over time.

Para los que no conocen la version original y no son seguidores de los Stones, claramente es una excelente version, tranquila y para ambientar cualquier lugar. Yo conozco las dos y no me desagrada para nada. Hay algunas de estas versiones en Bossa que son mejores que la original
