  One less egg to fry

  One less man to pick up after

  But all I do is cry

Verse 2

  (Oh, why did she go)

  Since he left my life's so empty

Bridge

  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 spend each day the way I start out

(I start and end each day crying)

  Crying my heart out

Verse 3

  One less bell to answer

  One less egg to fry

  One less man to pick up after

No more laughter, no more love

  A chair is still a chair

  e-ven when there's no one sitting there;

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 eggs to fried)

Verse 4

  One less man to pick up after
