[Verse 1]
Off to work with no kiss of goodbye
Wear a smile on my face but I lie
Cup of coffee at the corner café
Catch the bus, read the news on my way
Go through motions the whole morning through
Start a day in the life of a fool

[Verse 2]
Sometimes I dial our number and hope she'll return
But there's never an answer, 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 memories of you
That's a day in the life of a fool

[Refrain]
Yes, I rush up the stairs to my memory of you
That's a day in a life of a fool
