Rod Stewart - 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 alright

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

Or he wouldn't get in touch with me

Though 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 their basement parties, your brothers' karate

The all-day rock-and-roll shows

The homesick blues and the radical views

Haven't left a mark on you

(Chorus)

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

And 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

You wear it well

Madame Onassis got nothing on you; no, no

Well now my coffee is 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

(Chorus 2)

I'll 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
