Lover’s Cross - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

I guess that it was bound to happen

It was just a matter of time

And 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 every 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 memories 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
