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
Can't put your
arms around a memory
Can't put your arms around a memory
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
Can't put your arms around a memory
Can't put your arms around a
memory
Can't put your arms around a memory
Don't try
Don't
try
(spoken)
Johnny you're me
Yeah, you're memory
I wanna put my arms around
your memory
