You Wear It Well

I had nothing to do on this hot afternoon But to settle down and write you a line Ive been meaning to phone you, but from Minnesota Hell, its been a very long time You wear it well A little old-fashioned, but thats alright Well, I suppose youre thinking, I bet hes sinking Or he wouldnt get in touch with me Though I aint begging or losing my head I sure do want you to know, that You wear it well there aint a lady in the land so fine, oh my Remember their basement parties, your brothers karate The all-day rock-and-roll shows The homesick blues and the radical views Havent left a mark on you (Chorus) You wear it well A little out of time but I dont mind But, I aint forgetting that you were once mine But I blew it without even trying Now Im eating my heart out Trying to get a letter through Since youve been gone its hard to carry on Im gonna write about the birthday gown that I bought in town And you sat down and cried on the stairs You knew it didnt cost the earth but for what its worth You made me feel a millionaire You wear it well Madame Onassis got nothing on you; no, no Well now my coffee is cold and Im getting told That I gotta get back to work So when the sun goes low and youre home all alone Think of me and try not to laugh, and (Chorus 2) Ill wear it well I dont object if you call collect Cause I aint forgetting that you were once mine But I blew it without even trying Now Im eating my heart out Trying to get back to you
