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 GONE
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 I DON'T SHOW
THE SCARS 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
DON'T TRY, DON'T TRY

(You Can't Put Your Arms Around A Memory - Johnny Thunder)
