  • But all I wanna know, baby is
    If what we have was good (oh, whoa, oh, oh)
    Just pick up the motherfucking phone, damn
    Ayy
    Yeah, baby, mm
    Uh, lemme tell you somethin'

    I keep your picture upside my bed, mm
    And I still remember everything you said, mm, ayy
    I always thought our love was so right
    I guess I was wrong (oh, yeah), mm
    Always thought you'll be by my side
    Papa, now you're gone
    And I'm not tryna hear that shit, uh

    What I wanna know baby, if what we had was good?
    How come you don't call me anymore?
    Mm, anymore
    Yeah, you see what I'm sayin'?

    Still like a fire on a rainy night
    You ain't think that did you?
    I still like it better when you're holding me tight
    You know, yeah
    Everybody said, everybody said, that we should never part
    You know we look kinda good together, uh (no, no)
    Tell me baby, baby, baby why
    Why you wanna go and break my heart? Ayy ooh

    What I wanna know baby, if what we had was good?
    How come you don't call me anymore? Oh, ayy
    Uh, uh, you know what?

    Sometimes it feels like I'm gonna die
    If you don't call me, papa
    Oh, you got to try
    Won't get down on my knees
    Won't beg you please
    Please (oh)
    Ooh, won't you call me sometime, papa?
    You know it's just one lousy quarter
    Why don't you call me anymore? Yeah

    Why on earth can't you just pick up the phone?
    You know I don't like to be alone
    How come you don't call me? (Why must you torture me?)
    How come you don't call me? Yeah, yeah
    How come you don't call me?
    (Oh, call me sometime) Writer/s: Prince Rogers Nelson
