[Chorus]
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?) I only know that

[Verse]
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

[Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
(One less bell to answer) I should be happy
(One less egg to fry)
One less man to pick up after
No more laughter, no more love
Since he went away
He went away
