You Can't Put You Arms Around A Memory lyrics - Guns N' Roses

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 inside my bones

And even though it don't show

Those scars aren't 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 bastard kid

And you got no name

Could you live with me?

Go on and say

And even though it don't show

Those scars aren't 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, your memory

I want to put my arms around your memory

I can't try

I can't try

Don't try

Come on

LAMF

Like a mother fucker

Yo, Johnny, what color were her eyes?

Oh, she was wearing shades?

Fuck yeah
