Lyrics

0:09Guess that it was bound to happen
0:13Was just a matter of time
0:16Now I've come to my decision
0:20And it's one of the painful kind
0:24Cause now it seems that you wanted a martyr
0:28Just a regular guy wouldn't do
0:32But baby I can't
0:33Hang upon no lover's cross for you
0:40You really got to hand it to you
0:44Cause girl you really tried
0:48But for every time that we spent laughin'
0:52There were two times that I cried
0:55And you were tryin' to make me your martyr
0:59And that's the one thing I just couldn't do
1:03'Cause baby I can't
1:05Hang upon no lover's cross for you'
1:12'Cause tables are meant for turnin'
1:16And people are bound to change
1:20And bridges are meant for burnin'
1:23When the people and memories
1:26They join aren't the same
1:31Still I hope that you can find
1:34Another who can take what I could not
1:40He'll have to be a super guy
1:43Or maybe a super god
1:47'Cause I never was much of a martyr before
1:51And I ain't bout to start nothin' new
1:55And baby I can't
1:56Hang upon no lover's cross for you
2:03'Cause tables are meant for turnin'
2:07And people are bound to change
2:11And bridges are meant for burnin'
2:14When the people and memories
2:17They join aren't the same
2:22But I hope that you can find
2:24Another who can take what I could not
2:30He'll have to be a super guy
2:34Or maybe a super god
2:38'Cause I never was much of a martyr before
2:42And I ain't bout to start nothin' new
2:45And baby I can't
2:47Hang upon no lover's cross for you
Guess that it was bound to happen
Was just a matter of time
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
You really got to hand it to you
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 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
