You Wear It Well - Lyrics by Stewart Rod


Lyrics
You Wear it Wellby Classic Rod Stewart---------------------------------------------I had nothing to do on this hot afternoonbut 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 thinkingor 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 showsthe homesick blues and the radical viewshaven'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 minebut I blew it without even trying
Now I'm eating my heart outtrying 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 townthat you sat down and cried on the stands
You knew it didn't cost me up, but for what it's worthyou made me feel like a millionaireand you wear it well
Madame O'nasis got nothing on you
When my copies coldand I'm being toldthat I gotta go back to work
So when the sun goes lowand you're home alonetry not to think of me and laughand I wear it well
I don't mind if you call collect
But I ain't forgetting that you were once minebut I blew it without even trying
Now I'm eating my heart outtrying to get back to you
Since that's been said, what's left to address?cha cha cha super cha
