All I Want Is a Life

Lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 asking very much I hate coming home to this old broken-down apartment I wish I had a dime for every hole that's in the carpet 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 crumbs, I want a piece of that pie All I want is a life [Verse 2] I don't mind the hours and the pain that comes from working But it's enough to kill me when I see my baby hurting Wanna give her that diamond I never got to buy She keeps telling me that everything is getting better But one step up the rung and someone knocks me off the ladder Just want to break even someday before I die [Chorus] 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 [Chorus] Oh, 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 [Outro] All I want Is a life All I want Is a life
