You Can't Put Your Arms Round A Memory Lyrics - So Alone - Johnny Thunders

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. 

Feel so cold and all alone, 

Cause baby, you're not at home. 

And when I'm home 

Big deal, I'm still alone. 

Feel so restless, I am, 

Beat my head against a pole 

Try to knock some sense, 

Down in my bones. 

And even though they don't show, 

The scars aren't so old 

And when they go, 

They let you know 

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 bastard kid, 

And you got no name 

Cause you're living with me, 

We're one and the same 

And even though they don't show, 

They scars aren't so old 

And when they go, 

They let you know 

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 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
