Lover's Cross lyrics by Jim Croce
Guess that it was bound to happenWas just a matter of time
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 up
on 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 laughing,
there were two times that I cried
And you were trying
to make me your martyr
And that's the one thing
I just couldn't do
'cause baby, I can't hang up
on no lover's cross for you
'Cause tables are meant for turning
And people are bound to change
And bridges are meant for burning
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 he maybe a super god
'Cause I never was much
of a martyr before
And I ain't bout to start nothing new
and baby, I can't hang up
on no lover's cross for you
'Cause tables are meant for turning
And people are bound to change
And bridges are meant for burning
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 he maybe a super god
'Cause I never was much
of a martyr before
And I ain't bout to start nothing new
and baby, I can't hang up
on no lover's cross for you
