at the end of the day

jack handed rita his paycheck

with his apologies

he said they're cutting back at work

they had to let me go

and jack expected tears

he expected worse

but he didn't expect these words

as rita pulled him close

and she said to him. don't worry about it baby

let me tell you something

at the end of the day

is really where it all begins

with who you love

who loves you

and who's your friends

'cause god don't care where you live

who you are

what you drive or how much you make

all that really counts is how you sleep

at the end of the day

now betty handed bob the keys

to their million-dollar home

she said

bob this might be living

but it sure ain't love

i thought i had to have all this

i thought it made me me"
