I Just Called To Say I Love You
A Loss for Words Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

No New Year's Day to celebrate
No chocolate covered candied hearts to give away
No first of spring, no song to sing
In fact here's just another ordinary day

No April rain, no flowers bloom
No wedding Saturday within the month of June
But what it is, is something true
Made up of these three words that I must say to you

I just called to say I love you
I just called to say how much I care
I just called to say I love you
And I mean it from the bottom of my heart

No summer's high, no warm July
No harvest moon to light one tender August night
No autumn breeze, no falling leaves
Not even time for birds to fly to southern skies

I just called to say I love you
I just called to say how much I care
(Yeah, I do)

I just called to say I love you
And I mean it from the bottom of my heart

I just called to say I love you
I just called to say how much I care
(Yeah, I do)





I just called to say I love you
And I mean it from the bottom of my heart

Overall Meaning

In A Loss for Words's song I Just Called To Say I Love You, the singer is expressing their love for someone in a very ordinary day, without any special occasion to celebrate. The first verse sets the scene, implying that there is nothing special happening on this particular day. The absence of events that usually mark special times of the year, such as New Year's Day, Valentine's Day, or the start of spring, reflects the flatness of the singer's mood. However, the second verse shifts the focus to the essence of the situation, which is the love that the singer has for someone special.


The singer makes an effort to express that love by simply picking up the phone and saying "I love you," repeating it several times throughout the song. This simple action takes on a special significance in the context of an ordinary day. Perhaps the singer is acknowledging that expressing love doesn't have to wait for a special occasion or a grand gesture, but can happen in small ways, just as it does in the everyday moments of life.


Overall, the song conveys a sense of the beauty and the power of love in its simplicity. The singer's declaration of love is heartfelt and sincere, and is made all the more powerful by the fact that it comes from an ordinary moment in time.

No Libra sun, no Halloween
No giving thanks to all the Christmas joy you bring
But what it is, though old, so new
To fill your heart like no three words could ever do
I just called to say I love you
I just called to say how much I care, I do
I just called to say I love you
And I mean it from the bottom of my heart
I just called to say I love you
I just called to say how much I care, I do
I just called to say I love you
And I mean it from the bottom of my heart
Of my heart
Of my heart (baby, of my heart)
