You think about it when the sky becomes darkening
You think about it when the sun comes out again
You think about it, in the middle of the day
You should know better than that!

You say you got it all completely under control
But you keep on wanting more and more and more...
You should know better than that!

It makes you crazy, every time you give in
That's no way to live!

And it's not all
It's cracked up to be
When your heart calls out
Calls out to be free
But you're trapped inside this prison you can't see
It's not all
It's cracked up to be!

Two in the morning and you're reaching for your drug
You would deny it as your life goes up in smoke
You try to hide it
But you can't hide it from me

I know you better than that!

So if you call me
Baby, I will be there
Don't you know I care?

And it's not all
It's cracked up to be
When your heart calls out
Calls out to be free
But you're trapped inside this prison you can't see
It's not all
It's cracked up to be!

The circle of friends will get smaller and smaller
The walls around you taller and taller
I'll always love you
That will always be
But this world you live in
It's not all
It's cracked up to be

So if you call me
Baby, I will be there
Don't you know I care?

And it's not all
It's cracked up to be
When your heart calls out
Calls out to be free
But you're trapped inside this prison you can't see
It's not all
It's cracked up to be!

It's not all
It's cracked up to be!
