She wakes up from a dream
Checks the mirror for reality
She says, "Come on girl
It's all in a days work" Gets herself dressed just in time
Disappears on the 8:05
Oh, the whistle blows
And it's all in a days work 'til she calls it a day Oh, she smiles as he glances up from the swimsuit issue
Oh, she sighs as he walks away into the downtown day 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 days work Turning pages while the memories pass
Familiar faces from her senior class
How the years go by
When it's all in a days 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 days work, she calls it a day Oh, she waits by the telephone for the call he promised
Oh, it's late she puts her heart away for another day 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 days work 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 and all in a days work All in a days work, yeah
