Mmm...
|
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
|
No more laughter
|
(Oh I should be happy)
|
Oh why did he 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 haw 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 started
|
Crying my heart out
|
(Start and end each day crying)
|
One less bell to answer
|
One less egg to fry
|
One less man
|
(One less man)
|
To pick up after
|
No more laughter, no more laughter
|
Since he went away
|
(Since he went away)
|
Since he went away
|
Mmm... a chair is still a chair
|
Even when there's no one sitting there
|
But a chair is not a house
|
And a house is not a home
|
When there' s no one there
|
To hold you tight and no one there
|
You can kiss goodnight
|
A room is still a room
|
Even when there's nothing ever gloom
|
But a room is not a house
|
And a house is not a home
|
When the two of us are far apart
|
And one of us has a broken heart
|
Now and then I call your name
|
And suddenly your face appears
|
But it's just a crazy game
|
And when it ends, it ends in tears
|
So darling, have a heart
|
Don't let one mistake keep us apart
|
Oh, I'm not meant to live alone
|
Turn this house into a home
|
When I climb the stairs 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
|
(I got one less man)
|
To pick up after
|
(No more laughter)
|
No more laughter
|
No more laughter...
|
Since he went away,
|
(Since he went away)
|
Since he went away...
|
All I do is cry...
