[05:02.00]I had nothing to do on this hot afternoon
[05:02.00]But to settle down and write you a line
[05:02.00]I've been meaning to phone you but from minnesota
[05:02.00]Hell its been a very long time
[05:02.00]You wear it well
[05:02.00]A little old fashioned but thats all right
[05:02.00]Well I suppose you're thinking I bet hes sinking
[05:02.00]Or he wouldn't get in touch with me
[05:02.00]Oh I ain't begging or losing my head
[05:02.00]I sure do want you to know that you wear it well
[05:02.00]There ain't a lady in the land so fine
[05:02.00]Remember them basement parties, your brothers karate
[05:02.00]The all day rock and roll shows
[05:02.00]Them homesick blues and radical views
[05:02.00]Havent left a mark on you, you wear it well
[05:02.00]A little out of time but I don't mind
[05:02.00]But I ain't forgetting that you were once mine
[05:02.00]But I blew it without even tryin
[05:02.00]Now I'm eatin my heart out
[05:02.00]Tryin to get a letter through
[05:02.00]Since youve been gone its hard to carry on
[05:02.00]I'm gonna write about the birthday gown that I bought in town
[05:02.00]When you sat down and cried on the stairs
[05:02.00]You knew it did not cost the earth, but for what its worth
[05:02.00]You made me feel a millionaire and you wear it well
[05:02.00]Madame onassis got nothing on you
[05:02.00]Anyway, my coffees cold and I'm getting told
[05:02.00]That I gotta get back to work
[05:02.00]So when the sun goes low and you're home all alone
[05:02.00]Think of me and try not to laugh and I wear it well
[05:02.00]I don't object if you call collect
[05:02.00]cos I ain't forgetting that you were once mine
[05:02.00]But I blew it without even tryin
[05:02.00]Now I'm eatin my heart out tryin to get back to you
[05:02.00]After all the years I hope its the same address
[05:02.00]Since youve been gone its hard to carry on
