I'm off to work with no kiss of goodbye I wear a smile on my face but I lie

Cup of coffee at the corner cafe catch the bus readin' new on my way

Go through motions to whole morning cool start a day in the life of a fool

Sometimes I dial out number in hopes you'll return

But there's never any answer I guess I'll never learn

Hurry home after my work is through check the mailbox no letter from you

Then I rush up the stairs to my mem'ries of you that's a day in the life of a fool

Yes I rush up the stairs to my mem'ries of you that's a day in the life of this fool
