"All I Want Is A Life"
(Tony Mullins / Stan Munsey / Don Pfrimmer)

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, ain't askin' very much
I hate comin' home to this old broken down apartment
I wish I had a dime for every hole that is in the carpet
Well, I do not 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 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 want to break even, someday before I die

[Chorus:]
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

[Interlude]

Yeah
Yeah, yeah, uh-huh

[Chorus:]
Oh, 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

[Outro:]
All I want
Is a life
All I want
Is a life
