(Bacharach - David)

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, why did he go
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
'Cause I still love him so
I end each day as I start out
Crying my heart out

One less man to pick up after
No more laughter, no more love
Since he went away
Since he went away

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
Oh why did he go
Oh why did he go
