One less bell to answer

One less egg to fry

One less man to pick up after

I should be happy



But all I do is cry (Cry, cry, no more laughter)

Oh, I should be happy (Oh, why did he go)

I only know that since he left my lifes so empty



Though I try to forget, it just cant be done

Each time the doorbell rings I still run (I still run)

I dont know how in the world to stop thinking of him

Cause I still love him so (Love him so)

I end each day the way I start out crying my heart out



Oh, one less man to pick up after

No more laughter, no more love

Since he went, oh, he went away (He went away)

(One less bell to answer) Why did he leave me

(Oh, why, why did he leave)



Now Ive got one less egg to fry (One less bell to answer)

One less egg to fry (Oh, why, why did he leave)

And all I do is cry

(One less bell to answer) Because a man told me goodbye

(Oh, why, why did he leave)



Somebody tell me please (One less bell to answer)

Where did he go, why did he go (Oh, why, why did he leave)

How could he leave me
