Ali Campbell lyrics : "You Wear It Well"

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 out of time but baby I don't mind


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 them ba!@&(t parties, your brother's karate
the all day reggae shows

Them homesick blues and radical views
haven't left a mark on you, you wear it well
A little out of time but baby I don't mind


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


Since you've been gone it's hard to carry on
I'm wanna 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 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
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 wear it well
I don't object if you call collect

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
