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, oh my |
|
Remember them basement parties, your brother's karate |
|
The all day rock 'n' roll shows |
|
Their homesick blues and the 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 didn't 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, no, no |
|
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 |
|
I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you |
|
Oh, yeah |
|
After all the years I hope it's the same address |
|
Since you've been gone it's hard to carry on, oh no, oh no |
