Lover’s Cross lyrics

[Verse 1]
I guess that it was bound to happen
It was just a matter of time
And 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

[Verse 2]
You really gotta 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

[Chorus]
'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

[Verse 3]
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
[Chorus]
'Cause tables are meant for turnin'
And people are bound to change
And bridges are meant for burnin'
When the people and mem'ries they join aren't the same

[Verse 3]
But 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
