Written: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 Onassis 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 |
