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 much

I hate comin' home to this 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



CHORUS:



All I want is a life

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

I'm sick of the crumb...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



(Repeat chorus
