I GUESS THAT IT WAS
BOUND TO HAPPEN
IT WAS JUST
A MATTER OF TIME
NOW I'VE COME
TO MY DECISION
AND IT'S
ONE OF A 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 TRYING
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'D 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
'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
BUT I HOPE
THAT YOU CAN FIND
ANOTHER
WHO CAN TAKE
WHAT I COULD NOT
HE'D 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
