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
