[Verse 1] Jared used to take his coffee black Now Amber says, “Boy, put that back” Used to sip a drink and laugh Now he’s acting like it’s a crime to ask He don’t touch the beer on Friday night He don’t touch the rum, not even one bite He used to mind his own sweet pace Now he’s running errands just to stay in place [Pre-Chorus] Amber says, “No, don’t bring that here” So Jared folds up every little fear He nods and grins like, “Sure, alright” Then he’s out there doing wrong from right [Chorus] That’s our Jared, yeah Under the thumb, under the thumb That’s our Jared, yeah Can’t keep a secret, words run off That’s our Jared, yeah Brain like a sieve, it drips right through That’s our Jared, yeah What can you do? [Verse 2] Tell him one thing, the whole room knows He leaks a rumor from his head to his clothes “Say it to Jared?” that’s a trap By lunchtime everybody’s got the map He drives that Audi like it owes him cash No indicator, just a little rash Try reverse parking, he makes a mess Ends up crooked in the neighbors’ grass, I guess [Pre-Chorus] Amber wants her way, Jared says “okay” Then he forgets it by the end of day He swears he’ll change, he swears he’ll learn Then he misses every single turn [Chorus] That’s our Jared, yeah Under the thumb, under the thumb That’s our Jared, yeah Can’t keep a secret, words run off That’s our Jared, yeah Brain like a sieve, it drips right through That’s our Jared, yeah What can you do? [Bridge] He didn’t drink like this before Before Amber walked right through his door Now it’s coffee rules and bitter pride And a hundred things he can’t confide Still we laugh when he pulls up slow Crooked in the space with nowhere to go He shakes his head, says, “That’s my life” And Amber’s calling from inside [Final Chorus] That’s our Jared, yeah Under the thumb, under the thumb That’s our Jared, yeah Can’t keep a secret, words run off That’s our Jared, yeah Brain like a sieve, it drips right through That’s our Jared, yeah What can you do? That’s our Jared, yeah Under the thumb, under the thumb That’s our Jared, yeah Still our Jared, yeah That’s our Jared, yeah What can you do?
