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's 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.
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,
can't put your arms around a memory.
can't put your arms around a memory.
don't try
don't try
"johnny you're me
yeah, you're memory
i wanna put my arms around your memory
i can't try.. i can't try, don't try."
