You Cant Put Your Arms Around A Memory Lyrics & Chords By New York Dolls

You Can't Put Your Arms Around A Memory

It doesn't pay to try
All the smart boys know why
It doesn't mean I didn't try
I'll just never know why

It 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

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

You're just a basket case
And you got no name
Could you live with me?
Go on and say
And even though they don't show
The scars aren't so old

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

Lonely Planet Boy

It's hard,
It's so hard

And it's a lonely planet joy
When the song from from the other boys
That's when I'm a lonely planet boy
And I'm tryin, Baby for your love

Whoa, whoa, whoa, yeah

Oh, you pick me up
Your outta drivin in your car
When I tell you where I'm goin
You're always tellin me it's too far

But how could you be drivin
Down by my home
When ya know, I aint got one
And I'm, I'm so all alone

Whoa, whoa, whoa, yeah

Oh it's a lonely planet joy
When the song from your other boys
That's when I'm a lonely planet boy
And I'm tryin, I'm cryin,
Baby for your love

Whoa, whoa, whoa, yeah

Oh, It's so lonely

Whoa, whoa, whoa, yeah

Oh can't you hear me callin
I'm a thousand miles away
And I don't wanna stay
I'm thinkin words I gotta say

Cus I wanna be there witcha
And I know what to bring
I remember, from the days
You got over, everything

Whoa, whoa, whoa, yeah

Oh it's a lonely planet joy
When the song from your other boys
That's when I'm a lonely planet boy
And I'm tryin, I'm cryin,
Can't ya see I'm diein
Baby, for your love

Whoa, whoa, whoa, yeah
Whoa, whoa, whoa, yeah
Whoa, whoa, whoa, yeah

Now you are lonely
