I keep your picture beside my bed

And I still remember everything you 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

If what we had was good

How come U don't call me anymore, yeah?

Oh, anymore

(Listen...)

I still light the fire on a rainy night

I still like it better when U're holding me tight

(OK, now, umm...)

Everybody said, everybody said that we should never part, oooh yeah

Tell me baby, baby, baby, why'd U wanna go and break my heart?

(Why'd U wanna do it, baby?)

All I wanna know, baby, if what we had was good

How come U don't call me anymore, yeah?

Why don't U call me, girl?

Oh yeah, oh yeah

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!... Oh, yeah

Why can't U call me sometime, baby?

It's 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 2 be alone

Why, why must U torture me, baby?

Why U gotta treat me so bad?
