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 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 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 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
