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 she 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
I should be happy
'Cause I still love him so

I end each day the way I start out
(I start and end each day crying)
Crying my heart out

One less bell to answer
One less egg to fry, one less man
(One less man)
To pick up after

No more laughter, no more love
Since he went away
Since he went away
Since he went away

A chair is still a chair
Even when there's no one sitting there
Well, I'm not meant to live alone
Turn this house into a home

When I climb the stair and turn the key
Oh please, be there
Still in love with me

One less bell to answer
Each time the doorbell rings I still run
One less egg to fry

I got one less man
(One less man)
To pick up after
(No more)

No more laughter, no more love
Since he went away
(Since he went away)
Since he went away, all I do is cry
