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 still run)

I don't 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

Cryin' my heart out

Oh, one less man to pick up after

No more laughter, no more love (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?
