[Verse 1] I guess that it was bound to happen It was just a matter of time And 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 [Verse 2] You really gotta 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 [Chorus] '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 [Verse 3] 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 [Chorus] 'Cause tables are meant for turnin' And people are bound to change And bridges are meant for burnin' When the people and mem'ries they join aren't the same [Verse 3] But 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
