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) I should be happy 
(Oh, why did he go) 
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 spend each day the way I start out 
Crying my heart out 
One less man to pick up after 
No more laughter, no more love 
Since he went away (he went away) 
(One less bell to answer) Why did he leave me 
(Why, why, why did he leave) 
(One less bell to answer) Now I´ve got one less egg to fry 
One less egg to fry 
(Why, why, why did he leave) And all I do is cry 
(One less bell to answer) Because a man told me goodbye 
(Why, why, why did he leave) 
(One less bell to answer) Somebody tell me please 
Where did he go, why did he go 
(Why, why, why did he leave) How could he leave me
