[Verse 1]
I heard about the Easter Bunny
Presents under a Christmas tree
It was dreaming and fantasy
There was no Mom or Daddy

[Chorus]
I wanted everything
I wanted everything
I wanted everything

[Verse 2]
I had the world on my shoulder
But I was getting older
Knew I was ready for it
Some kind of employment

[Chorus]
I wanted everything
I wanted everything
I wanted everything

[Verse 3]
All day working on a truck
Bringing the groceries up
Not much of a salary
No tip for the delivery
