"I
Just Called to Say I Love You" is a song written, produced and performed
by Stevie Wonder.
The
song was first featured in the 1984 comedy The Woman in Red, along
with two other songs by Wonder, and scored number one on the Billboard Hot 100 for three weeks from October 13 to 27, 1984. It also became his
tenth number-one on the R&B chart, and his
fourth on the adult contemporary chart;
it spent three weeks atop both charts, and for the same weeks as on the Hot
100. The song also became Wonder's only solo UK number-one success, staying at the top for six weeks, in the process
also becoming Motown Records'
biggest-selling single in the UK, a distinction it still holds as of 2015. In
addition, the song won both a Golden Globe and an Academy Award for Best Original Song.
The song also received three nominations at the 27th Grammy Awards for Best Male Pop Vocal Performance,
Song of the Year and Best Pop Instrumental Performance.
There
was a dispute among Wonder, his former writing partner Lee Garrett,
and Lloyd Chiate as to who actually wrote the song. Chiate claimed in a lawsuit that
he and Garrett wrote the song years before its 1984 release; however a jury
ultimately sided with Wonder.
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 sky.
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 (about you)
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
