SHOW ME YOUR FINGERS
listen to mp3
have you changed my question
or asked another one of me?
i've abandoned my plans completely
to make you need me
show me your fingers
count them, darling
that's how many times i've loved you
and nine time is enough that's all i can do
i want something new
as i live alone in dallas
texas my love has never looked so cold
a snowflake falls uniquely
but when it lands we'll see
show me your fingers
count them, darling
that's how many times i've loved you
and nine time is enough that's all i can do
i want something new
mr. clarke has got wine for you
only the best he knows what to do
mr. davis is putting on the moves
he's sixty years old with so much to prove
mr. prather writes you a book
there's no telling how long it took
mr. henty is picking his swords
he's fighting in a duel over who gets you
mr. ford his name is ernie sings you one about how
the love is gone
love is dead
love is wrong
and you once said
that life's too long
it never moves
but hear these words
they might remind you
