You Can't Put Your Arms Around a Memory

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 --- You Can't Put Your Arms Around a Memory - Johnny Thunders and Johnny Thunders & The Heartbreakers
