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 comin' 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      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   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
