"You wear it well"

.

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 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 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 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 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 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 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 you.

After all the years I hope it's the same address.

Since you've been gone it's hard to carry on.
