Guns N' Roses — You Can't Put Your Arms Arround A Memory

You Can't Put Your Arms Arround A Memory

This one's for you Johhny
 
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 '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
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
