They all said it was bound to happen
Was just a matter of time
Now I′ve come to my decision
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 upon no lover's cross for you
I really gotta 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 upon no 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 super-girl
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 upon no 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 super-girl
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 upon no lover′s cross for
I won't hang upon no lover′s cross
No baby, I can't hang upon no lover′s cross for you
