You Wear It Well

I had nothing to do on this hot afternoon

but to settle down and write you a line

I been meaning to phone ya, but from Minnesota

Hell, it's been a very long time

You wear it well

A little old fashioned but that's all right

I suppose you're thinking Aunt Betty's sinking

oh he wouldn't get in touch with me

For 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 a land so fine oh my

Remember those

basement parties, your brothers karate

All day rock and roll shows

the homesick blues and the radical views

haven't left a mark on you

You wear it well

A little late on the 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 want to write about the

birthday gown that I bought in town

as 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 like a millionaire

and you wear it well

Madame Onassis got nothing on you

Well my coffee's cold, and I'm gettin told

that I gotta get back to work

So when the sun goes low and you're home alone

think of me and try not to laugh

and I wear it well

I don't mind if you call collect

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 back to you

Since that's been said, what's left to address?
