You Can't Put Your Arms Round 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 know why.
 Feel so cold and all alone,
 Cause baby, you're not at 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 aren't so old
 And when they go,
 They let you know
 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 got no name
 Cause you're living with me,
 We're one and the same
 And even though they don't show,
 They scars aren't so old
 And when they go,
 They let you know
 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
 Don't try, don't try
