I have nothing to do on this hot afternoon
But to sit here and write you a line
I've been meaning to phone you but from
Minnesota, it's been such a very long time

You wear it well
A little old fashion but that's alright

Well I suppose you're thinking that
I bet he's thinking
Or he would have got in touch with me
Though I ain't begging or losing my head
I sure do want you to know that
You wear it well
There ain't lady in the world so fine

Remember them basement parties
Your brother's Karate
The all day rock and 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
Well I'm forgotten that you were once mine
And I blew it without even trying
Now I'm eating my heart out
Trying to get a letter to you

Since you've been gone it's hard to carry on

I want to write about the birthday gown that
I bought in town
And sat down and cried on the stairs
You know it didn't cost the earth
But for what： its worth
You make me feel a millionaire

But you wear it well
Madame Onassis got nothing on you

And when my coffee's cold and I'm getting told
That I've got to get back to work
So when the sun goes low and you're all alone
Think of me and try not you laugh

And you wear it well
I don't object if you call collect
'Cause I ain't forgotten 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

I love you, I love you, I love you
After all these years still the same address

Since you've been gone it's hard to carry on
