New York Dolls - You Can't Put Your Arms Around a Memory / Lonely Planet Boy lyrics

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'll 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 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 You 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 they don't show The scars aren't so old 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 You can't put your arms around a memory Don't try Don't try Lonely Planet Boy It's hard, It's so hard And it's a lonely planet joy When the song from from the other boys That's when I'm a lonely planet boy And I'm tryin, Baby for your love Whoa, whoa, whoa, yeah Oh, you pick me up Your outta drivin in your car When I tell you where I'm goin You're always tellin me it's too far But how could you be drivin Down by my home When ya know, I aint got one And I'm, I'm so all alone Whoa, whoa, whoa, yeah Oh it's a lonely planet joy When the song from your other boys That's when I'm a lonely planet boy And I'm tryin, I'm cryin, Baby for your love Whoa, whoa, whoa, yeah Oh, It's so lonely Whoa, whoa, whoa, yeah Oh can't you hear me callin I'm a thousand miles away And I don't wanna stay I'm thinkin words I gotta say Cus I wanna be there witcha And I know what to bring I remember, from the days You got over, everything Whoa, whoa, whoa, yeah Oh it's a lonely planet joy When the song from your other boys That's when I'm a lonely planet boy And I'm tryin, I'm cryin, Can't ya see I'm diein Baby, for your love Whoa, whoa, whoa, yeah Whoa, whoa, whoa, yeah Whoa, whoa, whoa, yeah Now you are lonely
