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
