Song byAlicia Keys

in AlbumSongs In A Minor

But all I wanna know baby is

If what we had was good...

I keep your picture beside my bed (mmm)

And I still remember everything you said (mmm)

I always thought our love was so right I guess I was wrong

Always thought you'd be by my side papa now you're gone

(And I'm not tryin' hear that sh*t)

What I wanna know baby

If what we had was good

How come you don't call me anymore

Still light the fire on the rainy night

Still like it better when your holding me tight

Everybody say

Everybody say that we should never part (mmm)

Tell me baby baby baby why

Why you wanna go and break my heart

All I wanna know 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 Papa

Oh you gotta try

I'll get down on my knees

Hoping you please please please

Oooh won't you call me sometime Papa

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
