Elvis Costello & The Attractions Different Finger lyrics

Please put your rings on a different 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 different finger
'Cause we've got so much at stake
I can't stand those suspicious glances
'Cause they seem to cover every move I make

But I can be alone with you completely tonight
Put your rings on a different finger before I turn out the light
