You Wear It Well (Live - Leicester, England, 12/4/76

I had nothing to do on this hot afternoon But to settle down and write you a line Ive 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 aint begging or losing my head I sure do want you to know that you wear it well There aint a lady in the land so fine Remember them basement parties, your brothers 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 aint forgetting that you were once mine But I blew it without even tryin Now Im eatin my heart out Tryin to get a letter through Since youve been gone it's hard to carry on Im 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 coffees cold and Im 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 aint forgetting that you were once mine But I blew it without even tryin Now Im eatin my heart out tryin to get back to you After all the years I hope it's the same address Since youve been gone it's hard to carry on
