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

Bridge:
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

One less man to pick up after No more laughter, no more love Since he went away (he went away)
Coda:
(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)tell me How could he leave me
