You Wear It Well (Live at Leicester, England, 12/4/1976) (Live at Leicester, England, 12/419/76)

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.
