Jim Croce - Lover's Cross

Was just a matter of time
But now I've come to my decision
And it's 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

I really got to hand it to ya
'Cause girl you really tried
But for every time that we spent laughinThere 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

'Cause tables are meant for turninAnd people are bound to change
And bridges are meant for burninWhen 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'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
