I have nothing to do on this hot afternoon
But settle down and write you a line
I've been meaning to phone, but the minutes old
Hell, it's been a very long time
You wear it well
A little old-fashioned, but that's alright
Well, I suppose you think I bet he's thinking
But wouldn't get in touch with me
Oh, I ain't bent on losing my head
I sure do want you to know
That you wear it well
Marryin' a lady of a land so far, oh man
Remember those basement parties, your brother's karate
All day rock and roll shows
Well, 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 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 to you
Since you've been gone it's hard to get along
You're gonna be mad if I'm at the gown that you bought in the town
When you sat down and cried on the stairs
You know it costs the earth, but for what it's worth
You make me feel a millionaire
You wear it well
Madame Onassis got nothing on you, oh no
And when my coffee's cold and I'm getting told
That I oughta get back to work
So when the sun goes low and you're home all alone
Think of me and try not to laugh
But you wear it well
I don't object if you call if you laugh
'Cause 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 it back to you
I love you, I love you, I love you
Oh yeah
Since you've been gone it's hard to get along
