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

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
