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

oh

i should be happy

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

oh

one less man to pick up after

no more laughter

no more love

since he went

oh he went away

why did he leave me

now i've got one less egg to fry

one less egg to fry

and all i do is cry

because my man told me goodbye

somebody tell me please

where did he go

why did he go

tell me

how could he leave me
