Titel: YOU WEAR IT WELL
Interpret: ROD STEWARD
--------------------------------------------------------------------
I had nothing to do on this hot afternoon
But to settle down and write you a line.
I've been meaning to phone ya but from Minnesota.
Hell its been a very long time
You wear it well.
A little old fashioned but that's all right.
Well I suppose your 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 those basement parties your brother's 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.
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 know 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 nothin' on you.
And when my coffee is 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 for getting 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.
