Lover's Cross

Guess that it was bound to happen

Was just a matter of time

But now I've come to my decision

And it's a-one of the painful kind

'Cause now it seems that you wanted a martyr

Just a regular guy wouldn't do

But baby I can't hang upon no lover's cross for you

You really got to hand it to ya

'Cause girl you really tried

But for every time that we spent laughin'

There were two times that I cried

And you were tryin' to make me your martyr

And that's the one thing I just couldn't do

'Cause baby, I can't hang upon no lover's cross for you

'Cause tables are meant for turnin'

And people are bound to change

And bridges are meant for burnin'

When the people and memories they join aren't the same

Still I hope that you can find

Another who can take what I could not

He'll have to be a super guy

Or maybe a super god

'Cause I never was much of a martyr before

And I ain't bout to start nothin' new

And baby, I can't hang upon no lover's cross for you

'Cause tables are meant for turnin'

And people are bound to change

And bridges are meant for burnin'

When the people and memories they join aren't the same

But I hope you can find Another who can take what I could not

He'll have to be a super guy

Or maybe a super god

'Cause I never was much of a martyr before

And I ain't bout to start nothin' new

And baby, I can't hang upon no lover's cross for you
