Written：Rod Stewart/Martin Quittenton 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 Remember them 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 knew it did not cost the earth, but for what it's worth You made me feel a millionaire and you wear it well Madame Onassis got nothing on you Anyway, 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 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 After all the years I hope it's the same address Since you've been gone it's hard to carry on
