Prince - How Come U Don't Call Me Anymore? lyrics

--------------------------------- [u.s. flipside to 1999]

I keep your picture beside my bed

And I still remember everything u said

I always thought our love was so right,

I guess I was wrong

I always thought u'd be by my side,

Mama, now u're gone

What I wanna know baby, what we had was good,

How come u don't call me anymore?

yeah

Listen. I still light the fire on a rainy night.

I still like it better when u holding me tight.

Now hold it, everybody said,

Everybody said that we should never part. Oh yeah

I always did think we looked kind of cute together myself.

Say to me baby, baby, baby, why u wanna go and break my heart?

Why'd u wanna do it?

All I wanna know baby, what we had was good

How come u don't call me anymore?

Why don't u call me girl?

Sometimes it feels like I'm gonna die,

If u don't call me, mama, girl, u gotta try,

down on my knees beggin' u please, please

Why can't u call me sometime baby, yeah

Just one lousy dime, baby, why can't u call me sometime?

Oh, no, no.

Why on earth can't u just pick up the phone? Yeah

U know I don't like bein' alone

Why? Why must u torture me?

Why u gotta torment me so
