You Wear It Well lyrics

I had nothing to do on this hot afternoon

But to settle down and write you a line

I've been meaning to phone you but from Minnesota

Hell, it's been a very long time

You wear it well

A little old-fashioned but that's all right

Well, I suppose you're thinking I bet he's sinking

Or he wouldn't get in touch with me

Oh, I ain't begging or losing my head

I sure do want you to know

That you wear it well

There ain't a lady in the land so fine, oh my

Remember them basement parties, your brother's karate

The all-day rock and roll shows

Them homesick blues and the radical views

Haven't left a mark on you

You wear it well

A little out of time but I don't mind

But I ain't forgetting that you were once mine

But I blew it without even trying

Now I'm eating my heart out

Trying to get a letter through

Since you've been gone it's hard to carry on

I'm gonna write about the birthday gown that I bought in town

When you sat down and cried on the stairs

You knew 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 nothing on you, no no

Anyway, my coffee's cold and I'm getting told

That 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

And I wear it well

I don't object if you call collect

'Cause I ain't forgetting that you were once mine

But I blew it without even trying

Now I'm eating my heart out

Trying to get back to you

I love ya, I love ya, I love ya, I love ya

Oh yeah

After all the years.I hope it's the same address

Since you've been gone it's hard to carry on
