You Can't Put Your Arms Around a Memory

[Verse 1] It doesn't pay to try All the smart girls know why It doesn't mean I didn't try I just never know why It's because I am all alone? Oh baby, you're not at home And when I'm home Big deal, I'm still alone It's a restless, I am Beat my head against the pole Try to knock some sense, down in my bones [Pre-Chorus] And even though they don't show, the scars aren't so old And when they go, they let you know [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] You're just a bastard kid, and you got no name Cause you're living with me, we're one and the same [Pre-Chorus] And even though they don't show, the scars aren't so old And when they go, they let you know Okay [Chorus] 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, don't try, don't try, don't try [Chorus] 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
