You Can’t Put Your Arms Around a Memory / Lonely Planet Boy New York Dolls

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'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
