Lover's Cross

They all said it was bound to happen

Was as just a matter of time

Now I've come to my decision

And it's one of the painful kind

Well, it seems that you wanted a martyr

Just a regular girl wouldn't do

Now baby, I can't hang on a lover's cross for you

I really got to hand it to you

Boy you really tried

But for every time that we spent laughing

There were two times that I cried

'Cause I never was much of a martyr before,

And I ain't gonna start nothing new

Oh baby, I can't hang on a lover's cross for you

Tables are meant for turning

And people are bound to change

Bridges are meant for burning

When people and memories aren't one and the same

Still I hope that you can find another

Who could take what I could not

She would have to be a supergirl

Or maybe a Joan of Arc

Now I never was much of a martyr before

And I ain't gonna start nothing new

Oh baby, I can't hang on a lover's cross for you

I won't hang upon a lover's cross for you, oh baby

I can't hang upon a lover's cross for you

Tables are meant for turning

And people are bound to change

Bridges are meant for burning

When people and memories aren't one and the same

Still I hope that you can find another

Who could take what I could not

She would have to be a supergirl

Or maybe a Joan of Arc

Now I never was much of a martyr before

And I ain't gonna start nothing new

No baby, I can't hang on a lover's cross for

I won't hang upon a lover's cross, no baby

I can't hang upon a lover's cross for you
