You Wear It Well (Live From The Troubadour, West Hollywood/2013)

I love ya, I love ya, I love ya

I had nothing to do on this hot afternoon
But 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 outta time, but I don't mind

Well, I suppose you're thinking, I bet he's sinking
He wouldn't get in touch with me
Though I ain't begging or losing my head
I sure do want you to know

You wear it well
A little fashioned, but that's alright

Remember them basement parties, your brothers' karate
The all-day rock and roll shows?
Them homesick blues, radical views
Haven't left a mark on you

(You wear it well)
A little outta 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 eating my heart out
Tryin' to get a letter through

Anyway, my coffee is cold, I'm gettin' told
I gotta get back to work
So when the sun sinks 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

And I ain't forgettin' that you were once mine
But I blew it without even tryin'
Now I'm eatin' my heart out
Tryin' to a letter through

I love ya, I love ya, I love ya
Ooh, yeah
Since you've been gone, it's hard to carry on
Oh, yeah (one more time)
You don't get no mail, you know I'm in jail

You wear it well
You wear it well
You wear it well, J'Anna
