I touched you once too often
Now I don't know who I am
My fingerprints were missing
When I wiped away the jam
.
Yes I called my fingerprints all night
But they don't seem to care
The last time that I saw them
They were leafing through your hair
.
Fingerprints, fingerprints
Where are you now my fingerprints?
.
Yeah I thought I'd leave this morning
So I emptied out your drawer
A hundred thousand fingerprints
They floated to the floor
.
You know you hardly stopped to pick them up
You don't care what you lose
Ah you don't even seem to know
Whose fingerprints are whose
.
Fingerprints, fingerprints
Where are you now my fingerprints?
.
And now you want to marry me
You want to take me down the aisle
You want to throw confetti fingerprints
You know that's not my style
.
O sure I'd like to marry you
But I can't face the dawn
With any girl who knew me
When my fingerprints were on
.
Fingerprints, fingerprints
Where are you now my fingerprints?
.
Fingerprints, oh fingerprints
Where are you now my fingerprints?
.
