You Wear It Well lyrics by Rod Stewart
I had nothing to doon 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 very long time
You wear it well
little old fashioned
but that's all right
Well I suppose
you're thinking I bet he's sinking
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
Remember them basement parties,
your brother's karate
the all day rock and roll shows
And them homesick blues
and those 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 forget
that you were once mine
but I blew it without even tryin'
Now I'm eatin' my heart out
tryin' 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 did not 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
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
and I don't object if you call collect
'cause I ain't forget
that you were once mine
but I blew it without even tryin'
Now I'm eatin' my heart out
tryin' to get back to you
