Elvis Costello Different Finger song 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 if I can be alone with you completely tonight

Put your rings on a different finger

Before I turn out the light
