Rod Stewart - You Wear It Well

YOU WEAR IT WELL - 02/09/1972 1 week at #1 - 12 weeks on chart 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, oh my Remember those basement parties, your brother's karate The all day rock 'n' roll shows Them homesick blues and the 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 Since you've been gone it's hard to carry on 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 didn't cost the earth, but for what it's worth You make me feel a millionaire and you wear it well Madame Onassis got nothing on you, no no And when my coffee's 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 '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 I love ya, I love ya, I love ya, I love ya After all this it's still the same address Since you've been gone it's hard to carry on
