You Wear It Well

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
 Though 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 their basement parties, your brothers' karate
 The all-day rock 'n' roll shows?
 The homesick blues and the radical views
 Haven't left a mark on you
 You wear it well
 A little outta time, 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 on
 I'm gonna write about the birthday gown that I bought in town
 And 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 is 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'll wear it well
 I don't object if you call collect
 'Cause 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
 Oh, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you
 Oh, yeah
 After all this, oh, it's the same address
 Since you've been gone, it's hard to carry on, oh, no
