You Wear It Well — текст песни (Rod Stewart)

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 those basement parties, your brother`s karate,
the all day rock and roll shows.
Them homesick blues and radical view
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.
(tryin` to get back to you.)

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 make me fell a millionaire and you wear it well.
Madame Onassis got nothing on you.

And when 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`ll wear it well.
I don`t object if you call collect,
`cos I ain`t forgetting that you were once mine
