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
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
'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
Still I hope that you can find another
Who can take what I could not
He'll have to be a super guy
'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
'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
But I hope that you can find another
Who can take what I could not
He'll have to be a super guy
'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
