Hollywood Vampires – You Can't Put Your Arms Around A Memory lyrics

(Johnny Thunders cover)

[Verse 1]
It doesn't pay to try
All the smart boys know why
It doesn't mean I didn't try
I just never knew why
Feel so cold and all alone
'Cause baby, you're not home
And when I'm home
Big deal, I'm still alone

[Verse 2]
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 are so old
And when they go, yeah
They sure let you know, yeah

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 3]
You're just a bastard kid
And you like your no-name
'Cause you're living with me
We're one and the same
And even though they don't show
The scars aren't that old
And when they go
They sure let you know

[Chorus]
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

[Outro]
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
You can't put your arms around a memory
You can't put your arms around a memory
Don't try, don't try
