Lyrics

We try to live our lives and do what's right
But what's right is not always popular
And what's popular ain't always right
You see the best things in this life aren't free
The best things in this life take sacrifice
If you're going to follow your dreams

So baby, take the pain
Take the heartache and the shame
And chalk it all up to the cost of playing the Game

We both hurt but hey, we're okay
I'm not gonna call
We're better off now
Don't you agree?
Oh, what a wonderful life it would be
If I don't call you, and you don't call me

I'm not gonna call
I'm not gonna call
No

In life, you gotta do what you want
Say what you want to say
And just be you
No matter who knocks you down
Just get up and try again
'Cause they're not gonna call
So, why are you wasting your life
Trying so hard to be liked
By everyone?
If they don't want what you want

Don't cry
It's okay
You don't need them anyway
Just chalk it all up to the cost of fortune and fame

We both hurt but hey, we're okay
I'm not gonna call
We're better off now
Don't you agree?
Oh, what a wonderful life it would be
If I don't call you, and you don't call me

I'm not gonna call
I'm not gonna call
No

You said that you would never leave
And I believed you
I turned my body into whiskey
Just to grieve you
Though it's over now, I'm out to show you how
A man gets along in this world
But I'm not gonna call

We both hurt but hey, we're okay
I'm not gonna call
We're better off now
Don't you agree?
Oh, what a wonderful life it will be
If I don't call you, and you don't call me

I'm not gonna call
I'm not gonna call
No

I'm not gonna call you
And please don't call me
No
