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 timeYou wear it well
A little old fashioned but that's all rightWell, 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 knowThat you wear it well
There ain't a lady in the land so fine, oh myRemember them basement parties, your brother's karate
The all day rock 'n' roll shows
Their homesick blues and the radical views
Haven't left a mark on youYou wear it well
A little out of time but I don't mindBut 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 throughSince 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 millionaireAnd you wear it well
Madame Onassis got nothing on you, no, noAnyway, 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 laughAnd I wear it well
I don't object if you call Collect'Cos 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 back to youI love you, I love you, I love you, I love you
Oh, yeahAfter all the years I hope it's the same address
Since you've been gone it's hard to carry on, oh no, oh no

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
