Song | Lover's Cross |
Artist | Jim Croce |
Album | I Got a Name [Rhino] |
Lyrics:Jim Croce Music:Jim Croce | |
Guess that it was bound to happen | |
Was just a matter of time | |
But 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 | |
You 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 |

And it' s aone of the painful kind | |
' Cause now it seems that you wanted a martyr | |
