Different Finger Lyrics - Elvis Costello

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
