Melanie Safka - Lover's Cross lyrics

rate me

They all said it was bound to happen,<br />

Was just a matter of time<br />

Now I've come to my decision<br />

And its one fo the painful kind<br />

<br />

Oh it seems that you wanted a martyr<br />

Just a regular girl wouldn't do<br />

Now, baby, I can't hang upon a lover's cross for you<br />

<br />

I really got to hand it to you<br />

Boy you really tried<br />

But for everytime that we spent laughing,<br />

There were two times that I cried<br />

<br />

Cause I never was much of a martyr before<br />

And I ain't gonna start nothing new<br />

Oh, baby, I can't hang upon a lover's cross for you<br />

<br />

Tables are meant for turning<br />

And people are bound to change<br />

Bridges are meant for burning<br />

When people in memories are't one and the same<br />

<br />

Still I hope that you can find another<br />

Who could take what I could not<br />

She would have to be a super girl<br />

Or maybe a Joan of Arc<br />

<br />

Now, I never was much of a martyr before<br />

And I ain't gonna start nothing new<br />

Oh, baby, I can't hang upon a lover's cross for you<br />

<br />

The Tables are meant for turning<br />

And people are bound to change<br />

Bridges are meant for burning<br />

When people in memories are't one and the same <br />

<br />

Still I hope that you can find another<br />

Who could take what I could not<br />

She would have to be a super girl<br />

Or maybe a Joan of Arc<br />

<br />

Now, I never was much of a martyr before<br />

And I ain't gonna start nothing new<br />

Oh, baby, I can't hang upon a lover's cross for <br />

I won't hang upon a lover's cross<br />

I can't hang upon a lover's cross for you<br />
