This title is a cover of You Wear It Well as made famous by Rod Stewart

I had nothing to do on this hot afternoon
But to settle down and write you a line
I've been meanin' 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
Well I suppose you're thinkin' how Betty is sinkin'
Or he wouldn't get in touch with me
Oh I ain't beggin' or losin' my head
I sure do want you to know
That you wear it well very the lady in the fan so fine oh my
Remember their basement parties
And your brother's cavorting your all day rock n roll show
Yeah the homesick blues and the radical views haven't left a mark on you
You wear it well a little out of time but
I don't mind
Well I ain't forgettin' that you were once mine
But I believe it without even tryin'
Now I'm eatin' my heart out tryin' to get a letter through
Since you been gone it's hard to carry on
I wanna write about the birthday gown that I bought in town
When ya sat down and cried on your stairs
You knew it didn't cost the earth
But for what it's worth you make me feel a millionaire
You wear it well madame Onassis got nothin' on me no no
And when my coffee is cold and I'm gettin' 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 forgotten that you were once mine but I feel it without even tryin'
Now I'm eatin' my heart out tryin' to get back to you
I love ya I love ya
I love ya I love ya
Oh yeah
After all the years it was the same address
Since you been gone it's hard to carry on oh no, ooh
