I just wanna 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 old brokendown 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.
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, some day before I die.
CHORUS
Yeah. Yeah. Ohhhh.
CHORUS
All I want, is a life.
All I want, is a life.
