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
