You Can't Put Your Arms Around a Memory lyrics

It doesn't pay to try All the smart boys know why It doesn't mean, I didn't try I just never know, why It's isn't 'cause I'm all alone Oh, baby, you're not home And when I'm home Big deal, I'm still alone It's so restless, I am Beat my head against a pole Try to knock some sense, down 'side my bones And even though it don't show Those guys are so old You can't put your arms around a memory You can't put your arms around a memory You can't put your arms around a memory Don't try, don't try You're just a basket case And you got no name Could you live with me? Go on and say And even though it don't show Those guys are so old You can't put your arms around a memory You can't put your arms around a memory You can't put your arms around a memory Don't try, don't try Johnny you're me Yeah, you're memory I wanna put my arms around your memory I can't try, I can't try, don't try
