One Less Bell To Answer

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)

I should be happy (oh, why did he go)I only know that since he left my life's so empty

Though I try to forget it just can't be done

Each time the doorbell rings I still run

I don't know how in the worldTo stop thinking of him

'Cause I still love him so

I spend each day the way I start out?

Crying my heart outOne less man to pick up after

No more laughter, no more love

Since he went away (he went away)

(One less bell to answer) why did he leave me (oh why, why did he leave)

(One less bell to answer) now I've got one less egg to fry 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)

(One less bell to answer) somebody tell me please where did he go, why did he go

(Oh why, why did he leave) how could he leave me
