I don't want to work all night and day
On writing songs that make the young girls cry
Or playing little solos on the keyboard
So the kids will ask me how and whyI just want to, I just want to
I just want to elevate myself
I just want to, I just want to
I just want to elevate myselfAnd maybe for a little
Get to where I find it really hard to hate myself
I just want to, I just want to
I just want to elevate myselfI don't want to stare at stacks of paper all the while
While the world goes by
Tradin' out the weather for a clever lyric
Written by an IKEA lightI just want to, I just want to
I just want to elevate myself
I just want to, I just want to
I just want to elevate myselfAnd maybe for a little
Get to where I find it really hard to hate myself
I just want to, I just want to
I just want to get up off the shelfI don't want to be a part of all the quality that falls apart these days
I'd rather make an honest sound
And watch it fly around
And then be on my wayI just want to, I just want to
I just want to elevate myself
I just want to, I just want to
I just want to elevate myselfAnd maybe for a little
Get to where I find it really hard to hate myselfI just want to, I just want to
I just want to, I just want to
I just want to, I just want to
I just want to, I just want to
I just want to, I just want to
I just want to elevate myself
