Elvis Costello Different Finger Lyrics

Different Finger Lyrics

Please put your rings on a diff`rent finger if you meet me tonight
`Cause I can`t stand those suspicious glances
`Cause I know the things they`re saying are right

They`re saying why don`t you straighten up
And see what you`ve got to lose
Put it all down to fate but you still got the chance to choose

I don`t want to hear your whole life story
Or about my strange resemblance to some old flame
All I want is one night of glory
I don`t even know your second name

Please put your rings on a diff`rent finger `cause we`ve got so much at stake
I can`t stand those suspicious glances
`Cause they seem to cover ev`ry move I make

But if I can be alone with you completely tonight
Put your rings on a diff`rent finger
Before I turn out the light
