One Less Bell to Answer / A House Is Not a Home

Lyrics

[Part I : One Less Bell to Answer] [Verse 1] 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 Oh, I should be happy Oh, why did he go? I only know that 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 end each day the way I start out (I start and end each day) Crying my heart out (Crying) [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 Since he went away Since he went away [Part II : A House Is Not a Home] [Verse 1] 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 [Verse 2] A room is still a room Even when there's nothing there but 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 [Bridge] 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 [Verse 3] So darling, have a heart Don't let one mistake keep us apart 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 [Part III: One Less Bell to Answer (Reprise)] [Verse] One less bell to answer Each time the doorbell rings, I still run One less egg to fry I'm lucky I've got 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
