All I Want

All I Want Lyrics

I just want to get a little more out of my payday.
Finally own a care that doesn't break down on the freeway.
A littel vacation... ain't asking very much.
I hate comin' home to this old broken down apartment,
Wish I had a dime for every hold 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.
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 everthing is gettin' better,
But one stop up the rung and someone knocks me off the ladder,
I wanna break, even someday before I die.
-Chorus-
