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 (one less man)
No more laughter
No more love
Since he went away (since he went away)
Since he went away
Ooh, 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
