(C)I had (F)nothing
to do on this hot afternoon
But to (G)settle down and write you a (C)line
I been (F)meaning to phone ya, but from
Minnesota
(G)Hell, it's been a very long (C)time
You wear it (G)well
A (Dmin)little old (C)fashioned
but (F)that's all (G)right.
I suppose you're
thinking I'll 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 a land so fine oh my
Remember those
basement parties, your brothers karate
All day rock and roll shows
But the homesick blues and the radical views
Haven'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 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 want to write
about the
Birthday gown that I bought in town
That 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
When my coffee's
cold, and I'm being told
That I gotta go back to work
So when the sun goes low and you're home alone
Think of me and try not to laugh
And I'll wear it
well
I don't mind if you call collect
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 back to you
Afer all the years,
oh it's the same address.
