"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'll just never know why
It 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
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 they don't show the scars aren't 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
You can't put your arms around a memory
Don't try, don't try
