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 freeway
A little vacation ain't askin' very muchI hate comin' home to this old broken down apartment
I wish I had a dime for every hole that's in the carpet
No, I don't want it all but I ain't got enoughAll 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 lifeI 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 buyShe 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 dieAll 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 lifeAll 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 lifeAll I want is a life
All I want is a life
