Lyrics

[Verse 1]

It doesn't pay to try

All the smart girls know why

It doesn't mean I didn't try

I just never know why

[Verse 2]

It's because I'm all alone

Ooh, baby, you're not at home

And when I'm home

Big deal, I'm still alone

[Verse 3]

It's restless I am

Beat my head against the pole

Try to knock some sense

Down in my bones

[Verse 4]

And even though they don't show

The scars are so old

And when they go

They let you know

[Verse 5]

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

[Verse 6]

You're just a basket case

And you got no name

'Cause you're living with me

We're one and the same

[Verse 7]

And even though they don't show

The scars are so old

And when they go

They let you know, okay

[Verse 8]

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

[Verse 9]

You can't put your arm around a memory (Whoa)

You can't put your arm around a memory (Whoa)

You can't put your arm around a memory

Don't try, don't try

Don't try
