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

April (Will):

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, cry no more laughter)



Oh, I should be happy (Oh, why did she 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 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, crying my heart out

(I 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 love

Since he went away (Since she went away)

Since he went away



Oooh, a chair is still a chair

Even when there's no one sitting there

Well, 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 egg to fry) I got one less man (One less man) to pick up after

(No more) No more laughter, no more love

Since he went away (Since she went away)

Since he went away

All I do is cry
