5th Dimension, The - One Less Bell To Answer Lyrics
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 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
To stop thinking of him
'Cause I still love him so
I end each day the way I start out
Crying my heart out
Oh, one less man to pick up after
No more laughter
No more love
Since he went, oh he went away (he went away)
(One less bell to answer)
Why did he leave me
(Oh why, why, why did he leave)
(One less bell to answer)
Now I've got one less egg to fry
One less egg to fry
(Oh why, why, why did he leave)
And all I do is cry
(One less bell to answer)
Because my man told me goodbye
(Oh why, why, why did he leave)
(One less bell to answer)
Somebody tell me please
Where did he go, why did he go
(Ohy, why, why did he leave)
Tell me, how could he leave me

5th Dimension, The One Less Bell To Answer Comments
Timeless........
One less bell to answer always reminds me of the time when I was living in Los Angeles,California;and in the seventh grade for about six months.
LOVE this song...LOVE this group!
Almost bed time this is my 11th time,going to get my greatest hit cd and put it in my truck
One more time,12
Priceless
Me!!! I w cha
the greatest love song ever
Ms LaRue!!!!! that six pack!!!!!
lord shes one lovely lady she sings too /////
Marilyn McCoo singing about an egg frying and still sounding sexy. LOL. Gotta be great to pull that one off.
This song lacks credibility since the thought would never occur to any man to leave this lady.
Damn - 2020 and I'm still in love with this song.
AWESOME VOICE FROM FINE WOMAN!
Beautiful song sung by the gorgeous and talented Marilyn McCoo! Didn't realize Florence had such incredible abs @ 1:57!
What great music.....Rapp cannot compare
it's called INFATUATION, not love
The Vocal range is amazing And the group itself was pure CLASS!!by the way you see the ABS on Ms LaRue😀
Lawd have Merci...
Timeless!!
Marilyn is a TRUE lip-syncher - she stayed on point with the song. Here January 25, 2020
GREAT SONG!!!
Had to come back, for another watch.. This was SUCH gorgeous song..And SHE could SING ! What a girl....Thankyou, Marilyn !
My favorite song from The Fifth Dimension...💜 Marilyn sang it with soul!🎶
Florence LaRue, those abs!
A great song that tells a story. Incredible vocals. An awesome bass line, and something I could relate to, like eggs!
This is what I'm thinking while my dad drives me to grade school.
God I loved this song growing up
Truly a magical song , well written and beautifully performed ..............God help the lot of us !!!!
Her voice, and this song are like warm velvety chocolate enveloping my entire soul. Magical.
I love the music but those lyrics...
2:11 to 2:18!
Beautiful voice!
What a lovely person God bless
Drop dead gorgeous ! The complete package; unfettered harmonies, sublime changes, the patience it takes to practice, practice, practice, plus the beautiful & moving songs of the time, by Laura Nyro, Ashford & Simpson and here, Bacharach & David. How do you spell "quality"?
Sounds like Carole King song
Hi, 2020 Anyone Still listening?? When Love Songs have a Meaning to Them!!! One of 5th Dimension Great Classic " One Less Bell To Answer " 😭💔🎤🎶💯
Thanks for your respond 😀🎤🎶
Brilliant
I used to fantasize about making love to Marilyn.
McCoo could sure woo...
I was into heavy metal back in the day. Of course I never would admit to anyone I loved this and other soft music.
Such a beauty....
🖤🖤🖤
Now that’s music!!! Beautiful song!
Lo❤e Em 💯
Whenever I hear Maralyn’s incredible voice o
In this amazing song I’m a bit saddened because she lost her husband and soulmate, Billy Williams Jr. far too soon. He, too had a one a kind voice that I thoroughly enjoyed.
C'mon.... at least TRY to get the title of the song correct!
Beautiful woman who acts like a real lady with an angelic voice.
She is so beautiful and her voice is so pure.... How in the world do we stop thinking of her. One of the 5th dimensions very best! God Bless her soul and heart! Amazing voice!
Talent.
Boy Marilyn McCoo is so beautiful and dang she can sing!
For the record...its ONE less bell...
1971 great song my first year of JR high !
I never realized Marilyn McCoo was so tall. Nice song. Nice group.
Probably my favorite female singer ..This haunting melody is just beautiful
Wow this takes me back to when music had a meaning and was actually good ,not this cookie cutter type stuff of today..
I was in Love with Her From a Far Of Course Apologies Mr Billy. 5th Dimension took us to a Whole Nother Level.
to repeat a clever comment 'this guy eats only one egg, and doesn't have a key, has to ring the bell
Favorite Burt Bacharach song executed to precision by one of the greatest singing groups of all time!
This is what a real harmonizing group sounds like
This song beautifully depicts a moment in a life and draws empathy from my soul. Marilyn McCoo was musical theater on vinyl. No video needed, the feelings in the voice say it all.
Que voz linda !🌹🎵🎼🇧🇷✌🏼👌🏽
Oh, My My my Marilyn ! What a great tune this was... she could sing! Fifth Dimension was great group..Nice post !
2020 one of favorite songs ever !
Marilyn McCoo Davis is still beautiful!!
http://www.zigbeenuthouse.com/thread-205.html?highlight=I%27ve+got+a+time+machine
I USE TO HAVE THIS SONG ...TONY HAS SPOKEN.
Voice like an angel!
These songs remain...solid. Today’s music is trash. Except for maybe a few country songs......says a lot about today, doesn’t it?
Riding in the 1969 Chevrolet Caprice blue with white top 5th Dimension on the stereo built like a tank compared to the cheap plastic cars of today I would go back in a heartbeat.
another soooooooul train lip sinc memory////LY Don Cornelius !
anudder Burt classy classic
I was 10 @ the time and loved her and this music, and soul train, and marylin mccoo and Billy Davis Jr.??
It just don't get no better!
Damn 2:12
I will never find a woman to love me like her. Never.
You are right.....
Greatest song ever and they are still married to this day.
Hot mama ..
Linda demais...
BEAUTIFUL WOMAN, VERY FINE VOICE!
voice of an angel!
Bravo,Bravo!
I love me this song,sang Marilyn sang!
My Sister Dianne love this song so do I she sang the Hell out this song I remember this song when I was as they say now a tween 62 yrs young 2020
That's where Whitney Houston got her delivery from. She and Marilyn McCoo can both sing with massive vocal power. But, unlike others they had the talent to hit it with just the right touch. Awesome!!!
I remember around 1969, while getting ready for high school, I would hear their many great hits on my parent’s radio, not knowing that in 16 years, I would have the privilege of playing trumpet with them. It seemed surreal to be reading the exact notes that I heard on those original recordings. They were beauty personified!
Marilyn is just stunning in that outfit, an angels' voice and face
She exudes power.
Nice stomachs. I have not had that stomach since I been 3 years old. And now I am 58 yeas old.🤔 Kudos... Those Peoples are in their 70’s-80’s.☑️
I was 12 when this song came out. I was in love with Marilyn McCoo.
ONE Less Bell To Answer
Very under rated. And so beautiful
