I don't wanna 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 why



I just wanna, I just wanna

I just wanna elevate myself

I just wanna, I just wanna

I just wanna elevate myself



And maybe for a little

Get to where I find it really hard to hate myself

I just wanna, I just wanna

I just wanna elevate myself



I don't wanna 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 light



I just wanna, I just wanna

I just wanna elevate myself

I just wanna, I just wanna

I just wanna elevate myself



And maybe for a little

Get to where I find it really hard to hate myself

I just wanna, I just wanna

I just wanna get up off the shelf



I don't wanna 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 way



I just wanna, I just wanna

I just wanna elevate myself

I just wanna, I just wanna

I just wanna elevate myself



And maybe for a little

Get to where I find it really hard to hate myself

I just wanna, I just wanna

I just wanna, I just wanna

I just wanna, I just wanna

I just wanna, I just wanna

I just wanna, I just wanna

I just wanna elevate myself
