I Just Called to Say - Teddy Pendergrass

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 it's just another ordinary day 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 Of my heart 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 just called to say I love you And I mean it from the bottom of my heart Of my heart Of my heart Of my heart (heart) I just called to say I love you I just called to say how much I care (oh-oh-oh-oh) I just called to say I love you (I love you) And I mean it from the bottom of my heart (oo-oo) Yes, I mean it from Yes, I mean it from Yes, I mean it from the bottom of my heart

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
