Lovers Cross

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.

Yes I really got to hand it to you, ’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 mart   yr

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 turn   in’,

And people are bound to change

And bridges are meant for burn   in’,

When the people and memories they just aren’t the same

So I’ll 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.
