Lover's Cross - Jim Croce

Guess that it was bound to happen

Was just a matter of time

But now Ive come to my decision

And its a-one of the painful kind

cause now it seems that you wanted a martyr

Just a regular guy wouldnt do But baby I cant hang upon no lovers 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 tryin to make me your martyr

And thats the one thing I just couldnt do cause baby, I cant hang upon no lovers 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 arent the same

Still I hope that you can find

Another who can take what I could not

Hell have to be a super guy

Or maybe a super god

cause I never was much of a martyr before

And I aint bout to start nothin new

And baby, I cant hang upon no lovers cross for you
