[00:09.29]It doesn't pay to try,
[00:12.11]All the smart boys know why,
[00:15.82]It doesn't mean, I didn't try,
[00:19.59]I just never know, why.
[00:23.96]
[00:25.10]It's isn't 'cause I'm all alone
[00:28.41]Oh, baby, you're not home.
[00:32.57]And when I'm home
[00:35.92]Big deal, I'm still alone.
[00:39.09]
[00:43.06]It's so restless, I am,
[00:49.33]Beat my head against a pole
[00:54.05]Try to knock some sense, down 'side my bones.
[01:01.24]And even though it don't show,
[01:05.46]Those guys are so old.
[01:08.27]Can't put your arms around a memory,
[01:11.47]Can't put your arms around a memory,
[01:15.41]Can't put your arms around a memory.
[01:18.85]Don't try
[01:26.21]Don't try
[01:28.29]
[01:35.25]You're just a basket case.
[01:37.73]And you got no name.
[01:41.03]Could you live with me ?
[01:46.34]Go on and say.
[01:50.58]And even though it don't show
[01:54.73]Those guys are so old.
[02:01.12]Can't put your arms around a memory,
[02:04.40]
[02:05.30]Can't put your arms around a memory.
[02:08.23]Can't put your arms around a memory.
[02:12.09]Don't try
[02:18.72]Don't try
[02:23.01]
[02:23.72]"Johnny you're me
[02:25.73]Yeah, you're memory
[02:29.29]I wanna put my arms around your memory
[02:34.83]I can't try.. I can't try, don't try."

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.

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."
