Lyrics Elvis Costello – Different Finger

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

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
