It doesnt pay to try
All the smart boys know why
It doesnt mean, I didnt try
I just never know, why
It isnt cause Im all alone
Oh, baby, youre not home
And when Im home
Big deal, Im still alone
Its so restless, I am
Beat my head against a pole
Try to knock some sense, down side my bones
And even though it dont show
Those guys are so old
Cant put your arms around a memory
Cant put your arms around a memory
Cant put your arms around a memory
Dont try
Dont try
Youre just a basket case
And you got no name
Could you live with me?
Go on and say
And even though it dont show
Those guys are so old
Cant put your arms around a memory
Cant put your arms around a memory
Cant put your arms around a memory
Cant put your arms around a memory
Dont try
Dont try
Johnny youre me
Yeah, youre memory
I want to put my arms around your memory
I cant try, I cant try...dont try
