ROD STEWART - You Wear It Well lyrics

rate me

(rod stewart / martin quittenton)<br><br>I had nothing to do on this hot afternoon<br>But to settle down and write you a line<br>I've been meaning to phone you but from minnesota<br>Hell it's been a very long time<br>You wear it well<br>A little old fashioned but that's all right<br><br>Well I suppose you're thinking I bet he's sinking<br>Or he wouldn't get in touch with me<br>Oh I ain't begging or losing my head<br>I sure do want you to know that you wear it well<br>There ain't a lady in the land so fine<br><br>Remember them basement parties, your brother's karate<br>The all day rock and roll shows<br>Them homesick blues and radical views<br>Haven't left a mark on you, you wear it well<br>A little out of time but I don't mind<br><br>But I ain't forgetting that you were once mine<br>But I blew it without even tryin'<br>Now I'm eatin' my heart out<br>Tryin' to get a letter through<br><br>Since you've been gone it's hard to carry on<br>I'm gonna write about the birthday gown that I bought in town<br>When you sat down and cried on the stairs<br>You knew it did not cost the earth, but for what it's worth<br>You made me feel a millionaire and you wear it well<br>Madame onassis got nothing on you<br><br>Anyway, my coffee's cold and I'm getting told<br>That I gotta get back to work<br>So when the sun goes low and you're home all alone<br>Think of me and try not to laugh and I wear it well<br>I don't object if you call collect<br>'cos I ain't forgetting that you were once mine<br>But I blew it without even tryin'<br>Now I'm eatin' my heart out tryin' to get back to you<br><br>After all the years I hope it's the same address<br>Since you've been gone it's hard to carry on
