Prince - How Come U Don't Call Me Anymore LYRICS

How Come U Don't Call Me Anymore? [Controversy Music - 1983]
--------------------------------- [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
