But all I want to know baby is if what we had was good (oh oh oh oh)
Just pick up the phone Damn! (yeah babe)

I keep your picture upside my bed (umm)
And I still remember everything you said (umm)
I always thought our love was so right
I guess I was wrong (oh)
Always thought you'll be by my side
Pappa, now you're gone (and I'm not trying to hear that shit)
What I want to know baby, if what we had was good
How come you don't call me, anymore

Still like a fire on a rainy night (didn't think that did you)
I still like it better when you holding me tight (ya know)
Everybody said,everybody said that we should never part (no)
Telling me Baby Baby Baby why
Why you want to go and break my heart (hey hey hey hey)
All I want to know is baby if what we had was good
How come you don't call me anymore

Sometimes it feels like I'm gonna die
If you don't call me pappa
Oh you got to try
I'll get down on me knees hoping you please
Please (oh oh) won't you call me sometime pappa

(you know its just one lousy quarter)
Why don't you call me (anymore)
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...

    General Comment:Why does everyone always say Justin is in the remix of this? I've listened, and I'm not hearing it.

    General Comment:I relate to this song completely!!!!! it's just that anticipation of hear'in em finnally pick up and it's one of the worst feelings to just sit there spending day in and day out thinking about them while you don't know where they are. You could trust them and still have those worries of needing to be by their side...you love em so much..it's so annoying how the mind worx with affections..

    General Comment:Wow. You really outdid yourself this time girl. I love, love, love, this song plus the video is tight. Not everybody has the talent to take a topic as simple as being frustrated because ur boyfriend wont call, and turn it into both a catchy song and a hot video. Much love, and keep doing ur thang girl.

    *Alicia Keys for life*

    General Comment:I have to admit it's a good song but what you people don't know is that this is a Prince-cover the song was written and performed by him in the past
