You Wear It Well

Use A− / A+ to adjust text size
I had nothing to do on this hot afternoonBut to settle down and write you a lineI've been meaning to phone you, but from MinnesotaHell, it's been a very long timeYou wear it wellA little old-fashioned, but that's alrightWell, I suppose you're thinking how Betty is sinkingOr he wouldn't get in touch with meThough I ain't begging or losing my headI sure do want you to know, thatYou wear it wellthere ain't a lady in the land so fine, oh myRemember their basement parties, your brothers' cavortingThe all-day rock-and-roll showThe homesick blues and the radical viewsHaven't left a mark on you(Chorus)You wear it wellA little out of line but I don't mindBut, I ain't forgetting that you were once mineBut I'll believe it without even tryingNow I'm eating my heart outTrying to get a letter throughSince you've been gone it's hard to carry onI'm gonna write about the birthday gown that I bought in townAnd you sat down and cried on the stairsYou knew it didn't cost the earth but for what it's worthYou made me feel a millionaireYou wear it wellMadame Onassis got nothing on you; no, noAnd when my coffee is cold and I'm getting toldThat I gotta get back to workSo when the sun goes low and you're home all aloneThink of me and try not to laugh, and(Chorus 2)I'll wear it wellI don't object if you call collect'Cause I ain't forgetting that you were once mineBut I feel it without even tryingNow I'm eating my heart outTrying to get back to you
