Artist: Johnny Thunders Album: Individual Songs

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 cos I'm all alone
Ooh, 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 in my bones
And even though they don't show
Those guys are so old
And when they go
They let ya know

You can't put your arm around a memory
You can't put your arm around a memory
You can't put your arm around a memory
Don't try, don't try

You're just a basket case
And you got no name
Could you live in with me
We're one and the same
And even though they don't show
Those guys are so old
And when they go
They let ya know, okay

You can't put your arm around a memory
You can't put your arm around a memory
You can't put your arm around a memory
Don't try, don't try

You can't put your arm around a memory
You can't put your arm around a memory
You can't put your arm around a memory
Don't try, don't try
Don't try, don't try, don't try
