All my friends had to ask me Something they didn't understand Well, how I get all the women In the palm of my hand I told them, treat her like a lady
Busted flat in Baton Rouge, waitin' for the train And I's feelin' nearly faded as my jeans Bobby thumbed a diesel down Just before it rained They rode
I see my red door and I want it painted black No colors anymore I want them to turn black I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes I have
I am ready for love Why are you hiding from me? I'd quickly give my freedom To be held in your captivity I am ready for love All of the joy and the pain
When I find myself in times of trouble Mother Mary comes to me Speaking words of wisdom, let it be And in my hour of darkness She is standing right in
Give thanks to the Lord Our God and King His love endures forever For He is good He is above all things His love endures forever Sing praise, sing praise
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
