You Wear It Well Songtext
von The Black Crowes

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 alright

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 basement 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 cost the earth, but for what it′s worth
You made me feel a millionaire

And you wear it well
Ooh, 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

Said, after all this, I hope it's the same address


Said, since you′ve been gone it's hard to carry on
