Correction Lyrics You Wear It Well by The Black Crowes

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
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, 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 did not cost the earth, but for what it's worth
You made me feel a millionaire

And you wear it well
Madame Ona**is 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
