You Wear It Well - Rod Stewart 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 all right Well I suppose youre thinking I bet hes sinking Or he wouldnt get in touch with me Oh 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 Remember them basement parties, your brothers karate The all day rock and roll shows Them homesick blues and radical views Havent left a mark on you, 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 tryin Now Im eatin my heart out Tryin 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 When you sat down and cried on the stairs You knew it did not cost the earth, but for what its worth You made me feel a millionaire and you wear it well Madame onassis got nothing on you Anyway, my coffees 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 I wear it well I dont object if you call collect cos I aint forgetting that you were once mine But I blew it without even tryin Now Im eatin my heart out tryin to get back to you After all the years I hope its the same address Since youve been gone its hard to carry on
