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
Thought 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 to pick up after
No more laughter
No more love
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
Ohhh, please be there
Still in love with me

One less bell to answer
Each time the doorbell rings I still run
One less man to pick up after
No more laughter
No more love
Since he went away
Since he went away
All I do is cry
