I had nothing to do on this hot afternoon But to settle down and write you a line I been meaning to phone ya, but from Minnesota Hell, it's been a very long time
You wear it well A little old fashioned but that's all right
I suppose you're thinking how Betty's thinking Or she wouldn't get in touch with me For 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 their basement parties, Your brothers courted All day rock and roll shows 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 your weight I want to write about the birthday gown that I bought in town That you sat down and cried on the stands You knew it didn't cost me up, but for what it's worth You made me feel like a millionaire
And you wear it well Madame O'nasis got nothing on you
When my copies cold And I'm being told That I gotta go back to work So when the sun goes low And you're home alone Try not to think of me and laugh
And I 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
