Moyet later described how her song "Goodbye 70's" had been inspired by her disillusionment with how the late-1970s punk scene had turned out, saying, "'Goodbye 70's' is about punk and not caring how you were dressed, and then I discovered that so many of my friends that I'd thought it all really meant something to just saw it as another trend... That's what 'Goodbye 70's' was all about, about how sour the whole thing became."
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, of my heart
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, of my heart
