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
