GUNS N' ROSES - You Can't Put Your Arms Around A Memory Lyrics

This one's for you Johnny

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 as 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

(Come on)
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
Come on

Cali help me out
I can mug off, fuck off
Yo Johnny
What color were her eyes?
Was she wearin' stakes?
Fuck it
