Off to work with no kiss of goodbye 
Wear a smile on my face but I lie 
Cup of coffee at the corner cafe 
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 
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 

Yes. I rush up the stairs to my memory of you 
That's a day in a life of a fool
