Lover's Cross
Lyrics/Music: Jim Croce
I guess that it was bound to happen
Was just a matter o' 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
And baby I can't hang upon no lovers cross for you
Yeah, I 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
And baby, I can't hang upon no lovers 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
So 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 lovers 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
So 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 lovers cross for you
