You Wear It Well

Debarge · Time Will Reveal: The Complete Motown Albums [2011]

On the streets

And everywhere

You're turnin' heads

You've got the laissez faire



You just smile, yeah

And walk on through, oh, oh

You've got that personality, babe

And it sure looks good on you, yeah



Not the ordinary

Anything wear looks good on you especially

Nothin' I can tell you

You haven't already heard a half a million times

But I'd still like to say



You wear it well

You wear it well, you wear it well (Ho)

You wear it well

You wear it well, you wear it well



There they go

They look so lovely too

But even so

They can't compete with you, no



You've got class

You're more than just a pretty face, no, no, babe

You've got that personality, babe

You've got exactly what it takes (Yeah, yeah, yeah)



Not the ordinary

Anything wear looks good on you especially

Nothin' I can tell you

You haven't already heard a half a million times

But I'd still like to say



You wear it well (Ooh, sho' 'nuff)

You wear it well, you wear it well (Woo)

You wear it well (Oh, yeah, baby)

You wear it well, you wear it well (You take my breath away)



You wear it well (Ooh, sho' 'nuff)

You wear it well, you wear it well (Ah, yeah, baby)

You wear it well

You wear it well, you wear it well



Wear (Ooh)



You wear it well, you wear it well

Just wanna tell you, you wear it well

The way it looks on you, you wear it well

Just wanna tell you, you wear it well



You wear it well

You wear it well, you wear it well (Go on with your bad self)

You wear it well (Ho)

You wear it well, you wear it well (You take my breath away)

You Wear It Well

You Wear It Well stands as a polished example of DeBarge's sophisticated R&B craftsmanship during their tenure with Motown. The track captures the group's signature blend of smooth harmonies and rhythmic precision that defined their early 1980s output. As part of their broader discography, the recording highlights the family's ability to navigate the transition between upbeat dance numbers and more introspective ballads. The song reflects the production values typical of the era, emphasizing tight vocal arrangements and a steady groove that anchored the group's sound. While often overshadowed by their biggest chart-topping hits, this piece remains a testament to the band's consistent quality and their contribution to the golden age of contemporary soul music.
