[Verse 1]
People like you see it coming a mile off
Find it hard staying in line
It's not that no one really hears you
Just that nobody really cares
Like someone who's just seen the light
Like someone looking for a fight
Same thing every day, being foolish
Being asked to lose your seat
Don't look to me asking
To be helped up to your feet

[Chorus 1]
Don't you know you're a dead giveaway?
You're a dead giveaway[x4]
Dead giveaway

[Verse 2]
Don't look to me 'cause i know your game
Nonsense merchant, hall of fame
Take it or leave it, you're a blind drunk
And if you ain't that, you're far too stoned

[Chorus 1]

[Bridge]
Somebody knocking at the door
You're a dead giveaway
I've seen you happy all the time
Don't live lonely life
Dead giveaway

[Chorus 1]

Best known as the drummer for The Beatles, Ringo Starr (born Richard Starkey, 1940) also had a moderately successful solo career (with hits like “It Don’t Come Easy” and “Photograph”) and was the narrator for Thomas The Tank Engine.

His country-infused nickname emerged from a tendency to wear rings on his fingers.
