All I Want Is A Life

[Verse 1] I just want to get a little more out of my payday Finally own a car that does not break down on the freeway A little vacation Is not asking very much I hate coming home to this old broken down apartment I wish I had a dime for every hole that is in the carpet I do not want it all But I Is not got enough [Chorus] All I want is a life To drink from a glass from a well that Is not dry I am sick of the crumbs I want a piece of that pie All I want is a life [Verse 2] I do not mind the hours and the pain that comes from working But it is enough to kill me when I see my baby hurting Want to 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] [x2] [Outro] All I want Is a life All I want Is a life
