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 since he left my life's so empty
Though I tɾy to [C7]forget it just can't be [Am]done
Each time the doorbell ɾings I still ɾun
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 [A]heart out
One less man to [C7]pick up after
No more laughter, no more love
Since he went away (he went away)
(One less bell to [C7]answer) why did he leave me (oh why, why did he leave)
(One less bell to [C7]answer) now I've got [Fm7]one less egg to [C7]fry one less egg to [C7]fry
(Oh why, why did he leave) and [Bm]all [Em]I do is cry
(One less bell to [C7]answer) because a man told me goodbye (oh why, why did he leave)
(One less bell to [C7]answer) somebody tell me please where did he go, why did he go
(Oh why, why did he leave) how could he leave me
