You Wear It Well (Live at Leicester, England, 12/419/76) - Rod Stewart

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 brothers 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

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 coffees 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

Since youve been gone it's hard to carry on
