You Wear it Well

by Classic Rod Stewart

---------------------------------------------

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 how Betty's thinking

or she 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 their basement parties,

your brothers courted

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 loud at times 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 your weight

I want to write about the birthday gown that I bought in town

that you sat down and cried on the stands

You knew it didn't cost me up, but for what it's worth

you made me feel like a millionaire

and you wear it well

Madame O'nasis got nothing on you

When my copies cold

and I'm being told

that I gotta go back to work

So when the sun goes low

and you're home alone

try not to think of me and 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?
