Guess that it was bound to happen
|
Was just a matter of time
|
But now I've come to my decision
|
And it's 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
|
|
I 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
|
