lyrics

I Want A Little More From Life
Neil Mercer

Here in this house, it’s not my home
I dream of somewhere I can call my own
A chance to start afresh would be so nice
I want a little more from life
The people here, they don’t complain
They say be grateful if things stay the same
But I’ll take no more of their advice
I want a little more from life

I’m not looking for La Dolce Vita
I don’t expect a life of ease
But I’m sure life could be sweeter
Why am I so hard to please?

What’s to be done? What should we do?
We’ve got to work to make our dreams come true
And though we wonder if it’s worth the price
We want a little more from life

People call me discontented
Because I want something new
But when I see how their dreams have ended
What am I supposed to do?

Here in this house, it’s not my home
I dream of somewhere I can call my own
A chance to start afresh would be so nice
I want a little more from life
I want a little more from life
