You Can't Put Your Arms Around a Memory (Live)

It doesn't pay to try

All the best boys, they know why

Doesn't mean I didn't try

Lord knows, I tried and tried

So cold and all alone

Beat myself against the wall

Even when I'm home I'm not alone

Big deal, I'm still alone

'Cause you can't put your arms around a memory

You can't put your arms around a memory

I can't put my arms around Johnny

So don't cry, don't cry

So long

Whoa-whoa-whoa-yeah

When it's hard

Then it's so hard

And it's a lonely planet joy when

You play my song from your other boy

That's when I'm a lonely planet boy

I'm tryin', oh, for your love

Whoa-whoa-whoa-yeah

You pick me up

You're out drivin' in your car

And when I tell you where I'm goin

You're always tellin' me that's too far

But how could you be drivin'

Down by my home

When you know, I ain't got one

And I'm, I'm so all alone

Whoa-whoa-whoa-yeah

Well, it's a lonely planet joy when

You play my song from your other boys

That's when I'm a lonely planet boy

I'm tryin'

Yeah, I'm cryin' for your love

Whoa-whoa-whoa-yeah

Whoa-whoa-whoa-yeah

Can't you hear me callin'?

I'm a thousand miles away

For I don't wanna stay

I'm thinkin' words I've gotta say

I wanna be there with ya

I know what to bring

I remember, from the days

We got over, we got over everything

Whoa-whoa-whoa-yeah

Well, it's a lonely planet joy when

You play my song from them other boys

That's when I'm a lonely planet boy

I'm tryin', can't you see that I'm cryin'

Don't you know that I'm dyin'

Baby, for your love

Whoa-whoa-whoa-yeah

Whoa-whoa-whoa-yeah

Whoa-whoa-whoa-yeah
