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
