Rod Stewart - You Wear It Well lyrics

(rod stewart / martin quittenton) 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 all right Well i suppose you're thinking i bet he's 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 brother's karate The all day rock and roll shows Them homesick blues and 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 forgetting 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 ona**is 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 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
