Guns N' Roses - You Can't Put Your Arms Round A Memory lyrics

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 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 [Chorus:] 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 [Chorus:] Johnny you're me Yeah, you're memory I want to put my arms around your memory I can't try, I can't try...don't try
