Jim Croce - Lover’s Cross lyrics
[Jim Croce - Lover’s Cross lyrics]
I guess that it was bound to happen
Was just a matter of time
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
You really gotta hand it to ya
Cause girl you really tried
But for ev'ry 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
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
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
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
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
Was just a matter of time
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
You really gotta hand it to ya
Cause girl you really tried
But for ev'ry 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
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
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
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
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
