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
