You Say
Stefan and the Problematix Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

No New Year's Day to celebrate
No chocolate covered candy 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
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
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, baby of my heart

She nailed your narcissistic personality perfectly

@MDEROSSETT

I don't hate it... sad though, looks really can get you far, at least far in my book. It's pretty freakin convincing, Hell I'd be a good buddy for this dude. lmao, you're lying if you don't agree.

@myli9168

@MDEROSSETT I'm very honest when I say that I don't agree with you. Have delt with these narcs before and I keep them at a friendly distance. Looks can get you far for sure. But being proud, arrogant, flex about it and asking for compliments will only make people very tired of you eventually.

@MDEROSSETT

I understand, just found it to be harmless. I also agree with you, the pompous attitude and demand for attention is a bit too toxic for my liking. ❤ He's without a doubt the most important person in his own mind. After seeing a couple of his other videos, it's clear he has no grace or humility to balance his ego, wasted beauty.

@myli9168

@MDEROSSETT yes it can be harmless being like this. Except for potential life partners and close family members. He probably don't have any really close friends on an emotional and spiritual level. Will he feel lonely? Probably not because he has his own greatness to lean on.

I think this video is really hilarious actually. When she stands there roasting him hard to hell, he has this really smug and self-impressed look on his face. In his mind, there is no chance that anyone would say anything about him that isn't about pointing out his greatness and good looks. That's why he edited her "yeah" in the end because he really thought that was what she was begging for the whole time 😂 I love it!

SHE IS LITERALLY SAYING: Girls, red flags all over. He' prob gonna pull up his shirt and try to flex his muscles. She says this right in the end. Shortly after he pulls his shirt up. Her laugh in the end is the best. She nailed it. /Swede
