I keep your picture beside my bed
And I still remember the things you said, oh yeah
I always thought our love so right, I guess I was wrong
I always thought you'd be by my side, baby now you're gone

What I wanna know, baby
What we had was good, yeah
How come you don't call me anymore?
(How come you don't call me anymore?)

Still light the fire on a rainy night
Still like it better when you're holdin' me tight
Everybody said, everybody said that we should never part, oh no
But tell me, babe, why'd you wanna go and break my heart, yeah

What I wanna know, baby
What we had was good
How come you don't call me anymore, call me?
(How come you don't call me anymore?)

Sometimes I feel like I'm gonna die
And you don't come by my door
Boy, you've got to try
I'm down on my knees beggin' you please baby, ooh yeah

All I wanna know, baby
What we had was good
How come you don't call me anymore, won't you call me, baby?
Why can't you call me sometime, baby?
(How come you don't call me anymore?)

Oh, it's just one lousy dime, yeah
Call me, call me sometime
(How come you don't call me anymore?)
Pass up the dime one more time
(How come you don't call me anymore?)

Call me, call me
