Lover's Cross

Lover's Cross - A.J. Croce

Guess that it was bound to happen

Just a matter of time

Well I've come to my decision

And it's one of the painful kind

'Cause it seems like you wanted a martyr

Just a regular guy couldn't do

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

Well I really gotta hand it to ya

Girl you really tried

But for every time that we spent laughin'

There were two times that I cried

You were tryin' to make me your martyr

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

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

Tables are meant for turnin'

People are bound to change

Bridges are meant for burnin'

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

So I hope that you can find another

Who could take what I could not

He'd 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

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

Tables are meant for turnin'

People are bound to change

And bridges are meant for burnin'

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

So I hope that you can find another

Who could 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
