One Less Bell To Answer / A House Is Not A Home

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)

Oh, I should be happy

(Oh, why did she go)

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

(I should be happy)

'Cause I still love him so

I end each day the way I start out

Crying my heart out



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 (Since he went away)

Since he went away...



Oooh, A chair is still a chair

Even when there's no one sitting there

Well, I'm not meant to live alone

Turn this house into a home

When I climb the stair and turn the key

Oh, please be there

Still in love with me...



(One less bell to answer)

Each time the doorbell rings, I still run

(One less egg to fry)

One less man (one less man) to pick up after

No more laughter, no more love

Since he went away (Since he went away)

Since he went away

All I do is cry.
