Inside is an image of the same woman sliding down the banister as the phone rings, and the verse 'Darling, if you only knew, Just how much I care for you, You'd quickly grasp the nearest phone, To whisper 'I am yours alone', So if you'd ease this heart of mine, Pray 'Call' me soon, Your Valentine!'.
