You Wear It Well

Lyrics

I had nothing to do on this hot afternoon But settle down and write you a line I've been meaning to phone you but from Minnesota Hell it's been a really long time And you wear it well A little old fashioned but I don't mind Well I bet you're thinking he must be sinking Or he wouldn't get in touch with me But I ain't begging or losing my head But I sure do want you to know That you wear it well There ain't a lady in the land so fine, no no Remember those basement parties and your brother's karate And the all-day rock and roll shows And the homesick blues and the radical views Haven't left a mark on you And you wear it well A little out of time but I don't mind And I ain't forgetting that you were once mine But I blew it without even tryin' Now I'm eatin' my heart out Tryin' to get a letter to you Since you've been gone it's hard to carry on Wanna write about the birthday gown that I bought in town And you sat down and cried on the stair It didn't cost the earth but for what it's worth You made me feel a millionaire And you wear it well Madame Onassis got nothin' on you Well my coffee's cold and I'm getting told I gotta get back to work So when the sun goes low and you're home all alone Think of me and try not to laugh 'Cuz I wear it well I don't object if you call collect And I ain't forgetting that you were once mine But I blew it without even trying Now I'm eating my heart out Tryin' to get back to you I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you
