How Come You Don't Call Me? Lyrics
I keep your picture beside my bed
And I still remember everythang you said
I always thought our love was so right, I guess I was wrong
I always thought you'd be by my side papa, now you're gone
(I’m not trynna hear that s***)
What I wanna know, baby
If what we had was good
How come you don't call me anymore?
Umm… anymore
I still light the fire on a rainy night
I still like it better when you're holding me tight
Everybody said, everybody said that we should never part, ummm... no
(I always said that we were kinda cute together myself)
Tell me baby, baby, baby, why, why'd you wanna go and break my heart?
All I wanna know, baby
If what we had was good
How come you don't call me anymore, yeah?
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Sometimes it feels like I'm gonna die
If you don't call me papa, oh… you gotta try
Gon' get down on my knees hopin' you please, please!... oh yeah
Won't you call me sometime, papa?
You know it's just one lousy quarter
Why don't you call me papa, no more?
Why on Earth can't you just pick up the phone, yeah?
You know I don't like to be alone
How come you don’t call me?
Why, why must you torture me?
How come you don't call me?
How come you don't call me?
How come you don't call me?
And I still remember everythang you said
I always thought our love was so right, I guess I was wrong
I always thought you'd be by my side papa, now you're gone
(I’m not trynna hear that s***)
What I wanna know, baby
If what we had was good
How come you don't call me anymore?
Umm… anymore
I still like it better when you're holding me tight
Everybody said, everybody said that we should never part, ummm... no
(I always said that we were kinda cute together myself)
Tell me baby, baby, baby, why, why'd you wanna go and break my heart?
If what we had was good
How come you don't call me anymore, yeah?
Oh yeah, oh yeah
If you don't call me papa, oh… you gotta try
Gon' get down on my knees hopin' you please, please!... oh yeah
Won't you call me sometime, papa?
Why don't you call me papa, no more?
You know I don't like to be alone
How come you don’t call me?
Why, why must you torture me?
How come you don't call me?
How come you don't call me?
How come you don't call me?

I'm sayin Alicia gurl you dropped a hott one on us!! The song is for eerrbody who has that special someone who never calls...it's hott to death and she needa get ready to hit us with another #1 cuz ya'll already know this one is going straight to #1!!! Aite!!!!
I am a huge fan of songs that sound like this one. That old jazz yet new age style is the best. And Alicia does a really awesome job in singing it. Thanks for bringing all those hits Alicia!
This is the koolest song. She sings so many good songs i luv her voice too. If only they had more people who had taste of music like hers. The world would be a much betta place. Thanx Alicia.
I love this song. Alicia sings really good. She's very talented
I love this song. Alicia sings really good. She's very talented
I have to admit it's a good song but what you people don't know is that this is a Prince-cover the song was written and performed by him in the past
everyone can relate! we all meet people who say they'll call but can never find it in them to pick up a damn phone.
Wow. You really outdid yourself this time girl. I love, love, love, this song plus the video is tight. Not everybody has the talent to take a topic as simple as being frustrated because ur boyfriend wont call, and turn it into both a catchy song and a hot video. Much love, and keep doing ur thang girl.
Alicia Keys for life
This song is sad cuz i know her papa and her mom (Terri) are divorced.
