One Less Bell To Answer

Burt Bacharach

    Continues after the ad

    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

    Verse 2:

    (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

    Bridge:

    Continues after the ad

    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

    Verse 3 (first two lines instrumental):

    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
