the black crowes - you wear it well lyrics
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
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
remember them bas+m+nt parties, your brother’s karate
the all+day rock and roll shows
them homesick blues and radical views
haven’t left a mark on you
but 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
oh, since you’ve been gone it’s hard to carry on
gonna write about the birthday gown that i bought in town
you sat down and cried on the stairs
you know 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 coffee’s cold and i’m getting told
i gotta get back to work
so when the sun goes down and you’re home all alone
think of me and try not to laugh
and you 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 tryin’
now i’m eatin’ my heart out
tryin’ to get back to you
oh, i love you, i love you, i love you, i love you
say, after all this, i hope it’s the same address
said, since you’ve been gone it’s hard to carry on
