They all said Cit was bound to Dhappen
GWas just a Cmatter of Dtime
Now I've Gcome to Cmy deDcision and
It's Gone of the painful Emkind
Well it Cseems that you Dwanted a Emmartyr
Just a Cregular Ggirl wouldn't Ddo
Now baby, GI can't Chang upon no lovers Dcross for Gyou
I really Cgotta hand it Dto ya

But for Gevery Ctime that we spent Dlaughing
There were Gtwo times that I Emcried
'Cause I Cnever was Dmuch of a Emmartyr before
And I Cain't gonna Gstart nothin' Dnew
Oh baby, GI can't Chang upon a lovers Dcross for Gyou
CHORUS:
CTables are Dmeant for CturGnin'

When Cpeople and Gmemories aren't Cone and the Dsame
Still, I Ghope that Cyou can Dfind another
Who could Gtake what CI could Dnot
She would Ghave to Cbe a super-Dgirl
Or Gmaybe a Joan of EmArc
Now I Cnever was Dmuch of a Emmartyr before
And I Cain't gonna Gstart nothin' Dnew
Oh baby, GI can't Chang upon a lovers Dcross for Gyou
CHORUS:
CTables are Dmeant for CturGnin'
CAnd people are Gbound to Dchange
CBridges are Dmeant for CburGnin'
When Cpeople and Gmemories aren't Cone and the Dsame
Still I hGope that yCou can find aDnother
Who could Gtake what I could Dnot
She would Ghave to Cbe a super Dgirl
Or Gmaybe a Joan of EmArc
Now I Cnever was Dmuch of a Emmartyr before

Oh baby, GI can't Chang upon no lovers Dcross for..G..
