[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

[Chorus]
Go through motions the whole morning through
Start a day in the life of a fool

[Verse 2]
Sometimes I dial our number in hopes you've returned
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

[Chorus]
Then I rush up the stairs to my memories of you
That's a day in the lifе of a fool
Then I rush up the stairs to my memoriеs of you
That's a day in the life of a fool
