I was sitting in traffic for the fifth year in a row
Wasting my time just to get where I don't even want to go
I started jotting things down on a Krispy Kreme sack
Everything I'd do if I could leave this place and never look back

I wanna do it all, visit Paris in the fall
Watch the Yankees play ball, I wanna take it all in
Catch a few beads down at Mardi Gras
Start a tradition, lay down the law, I wanna do it all

I wanna drink tequila down in Tijuana
Say why not when somebody says hey do you wanna
I wanna get my heart broke once or twice
Then settle down with the love of my life
Rock little babies to sleep at night

I wanna do it all, visit Paris in the fall
Watch the Yankees play ball, I wanna take it all in
Catch a few beads down at Mardi Gras
Start a tradition, lay down the law, I wanna do it all

I wanna do it all, see Niagra Falls
Fight city hall, feel good in my skin
Beating the odds with my back to the wall
Tryin' to Rob Peter without paying Paul, I wanna do it all

I wanna spend a day every now and then doin' what I wanna do
When I wanna do it (I wanna do it all)
Anytime I wana do it (I wanna do it all)
I just wanna

I wanna do it all, visit Paris in the fall
Watch the Yankees play ball, I wanna take it all in
Catch a few beads down at Mardi Gras
Start a tradition, lay down the law, I wanna do it all

I wanna do it all, stand on the Great Wall
Play Carnegie Hall, wanna learn how to live
Like Cinderella, the Belle o' the Ball
Make my movie with my baby doll, I wanna do it all
