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 knew why

Feel so cold and all alone, 'cause, baby, you're not 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 are so old

And when they go hit, they sure let you know, yeah, 'cause

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 ain't got no name

Call you "Little Me", we're one and the same

And even though they don't show, the scars aren't that old

And when they go, they sure let you know 'cause

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

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

Don't try
