Shake It Up
Timeless Love: Expressing Devotion Beyond Calendar Moments
Lyrics
No New Years Day to celebrate
No special occasion on New Year's Day
No chocolate covered candy hearts to give away
No traditional gifts like chocolate-covered candy hearts
No first of spring, no song to sing
Lack of typical signs of spring, no reasons to celebrate
In fact, here's just another ordinary day
Emphasizes the ordinary nature of the day
Just called to say I love you
Expressing love through a phone call
I just called to say how much I care
Reiterating care and affection in the call
I just called to say I love you
Repeated declaration of love
And I mean it from the bottom of my heart
Emphasizing sincerity and depth of feeling
No April rain, no flowers' bloom
No typical signs of April, no weddings in June
No wedding Saturday within the month of June
Highlighting the absence of conventional events
But what it is is something true
Despite the lack of traditional celebrations, something genuine
Made up of these three words that I must say to you
Expressing love through three important words
Just called to say I love you
Reiterating the expression of love through a call
I just called to say how much I care
Reaffirming the depth of caring in the call
I just called to say I love you
Restating the declaration of love
And I mean it from the bottom of my heart
Reinforcing the sincerity from the heart
No summer's high, no warm July
No mention of summer or warm July
No harvest moon to light one tender August night
Describing the absence of typical August events
No autumn breeze, no falling leaves
No signs of autumn, no falling leaves
Not even time for birds to fly to southern skies
Highlighting the lack of time for migration
Just called to say I love you
Continuing the expression of love through a call
I just called to say how much I care
Reiterating the depth of caring in the call
I just called to say I love you
Restating the declaration of love
And I mean it from the bottom of my heart
Reinforcing the sincerity from the heart
No Libra sun, no Halloween
No mention of Libra sun or Halloween
No giving thanks for all the Christmas joy you bring
No gratitude expressed for Christmas joy
But what it is, tho' old, so new
Despite the age, the sentiment is novel and impactful
To fill your heart like no three words could ever do
Emphasizing the profound impact of three words on the heart
Just called to say I love you
Reiterating the expression of love through a call
I just called to say how much I care
Reaffirming the depth of caring in the call
I just called to say I love you
Restating the declaration of love
And I mean it from the bottom of my heart
Reinforcing the sincerity from the heart
