dexys - you wear it well lyrics

Loading...

[chorus]
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
h-ll it’s been a very long time
you wear it well
a little old fashioned but that’s all right

[verse 1]
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 oh my

[chorus]
remember them bas-m-nt parties, your brother’s karate
the all day rock and roll shows
them homesick blues and the radical views
haven’t left a mark on you, you wear it well
a little out of time but that’s alright

[verse 2]
cause i ain’t forgetting that you were once mine
but i blew it without even trying’
now i’m eatin’ my heart out
tryin’ to get back to you

[instrumental]

[chorus]
since you’ve been gone it’s hard to carry on (oh my god )
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 on-ssis got nothing on you

[verse 3]
anyway, my tea’s gone cold and i’m getting told
i’ve 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

[chorus]
and i wear it well
i don’t object if you call collect
cause i ain’t forgetting that you were once mine
but i blew it without even trying’
now i’m eatin’ my heart out trying’ to get back to you
