[Verse 1]
She wakes up from a dream, checks the mirror for reality
She says, "Come on girl, it's all in a day's work"
Gets herself dressed just in time, disappears on the 8:05
Ooh the whistle blows and it's all in a day's work
'Til she calls it a day

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh she smiles as he glances up from the swimsuit issue
Oh she sighs as he walks away into the downtown day

[Chorus]
Day after day night after night
Loneliness creeps in her window
She locks the door, turns off the light
Rehearsing a kiss on her pillow, she cries
It's all in a day's work

[Verse 2]
Turning pages while the memories pass
Familiar faces from her senior class
How the years go by when it's all in a day's work
"Dearest Ruby, hope you reach your star
Don't ever change, stay as sweet as you are"
And when a teardrop falls she calls it a day's work
She calls it a day
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh she waits by the telephone for the call he promised
Oh it's late, she puts her heart away for another day

[Chorus]
Day after day night after night
Loneliness creeps in her window
She locks the door, turns off the light
Rehearsing a kiss on her pillow, she cries
All in a day's work
