Lyrics

[00:09.000] Guess that it was bound to happen
[00:13.000] Was just a matter of time
[00:16.000] But now I've come to my decision
[00:20.000] And it's a-one of the painful kind
[00:24.000] 'Cause now it seems that you wanted a martyr
[00:28.000] Just a regular guy wouldn't do
[00:31.000] But baby I can't hang upon no lover's cross for you
[00:40.000] You really got to hand it to ya
[00:45.000] 'Cause girl you really tried
[00:48.000] But for every time that we spent laughin'
[00:52.000] There were two times that I cried
[00:56.000] And you were tryin' to make me your martyr
[01:00.000] And that's the one thing I just couldn't do
[01:04.000] 'Cause baby, I can't hang upon no lover's cross for you
[01:12.000] 'Cause tables are meant for turnin'
[01:16.000] And people are bound to change
[01:20.000] And bridges are meant for burnin'
[01:24.000] When the people and memories they join aren't the same
[01:31.000] Still I hope that you can find
[01:34.000] Another who can take what I could not
[01:40.000] He'll have to be a super guy
[01:43.000] Or maybe a super god
[01:47.000] 'Cause I never was much of a martyr before
[01:51.000] And I ain't bout to start nothin' new
[01:54.000] And baby, I can't hang upon no lover's cross for you
[02:03.000] 'Cause tables are meant for turnin'
[02:07.000] And people are bound to change
[02:11.000] And bridges are meant for burnin'
[02:15.000] When the people and memories they join aren't the same
[02:22.000] But I hope you can find Another who can take what I could not
[02:31.000] He'll have to be a super guy
[02:34.000] Or maybe a super god
[02:38.000] 'Cause I never was much of a martyr before
[02:42.000] And I ain't bout to start nothin' new
[02:46.000] And baby, I can't hang upon no lover's cross for you
