All I Want Is a Life

I just want to get a little more out of my payday

Finally own a car that doesn't break down on the free way

A little vacation, ain't askin' very much

I hate comin' home to the old, broken down apartment

I wish I had a dime for every hold that's in the carpet

No, I don't want it all, but I ain't got enough

All I want is a life

To drink from a glass, from a well that ain't dry

I'm sick of the crumbs, I want a piece of that pie

All I want is a life

I don't mind the hours and the pain that comes from workin'

But it's enough to kill me when I see my baby hurtin'

Wanna give her that diamond I never got to buy

She keeps tellin' me that everything is gettin' better

But one step up the rung and someone knocks me off the ladder

Just wanna break even someday before I die

All I want is a life

To drink from a glass, from a well that ain't dry

I'm sick of the crumbs, I want a piece of that pie

All I want is a life

All I want is a life

To drink from a glass, from a well that ain't dry

I'm sick of the crumbs, I want a piece of that pie

All I want is a life

All I want

Is a life

All I want

Is a life
