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)
Oh, 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 world
To stop thinking of him
'Cause I still love him so
I end each day the way I start out
Crying my heart out

Ooh, 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 I've got one less egg to fry (one less bell to answer), one less egg to fry
And all I do is cry (Oh why, why did he leave?)

(One less bell to answer) Because my 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) Tell me, how could he leave me?
