How Come You Don’t Call Me (Unplugged) lyrics
by Yasiin Bey
[Spoken Intro]
Uh, yeah, uh
Well, well, well, well, well
I’ma have to tell y’all somethin’, a li’l somethin’ like this
You see, I was gonna start singin' right there but, you know
(Take your time, take your time, girl)
I decided that I wanted to bash him a little bit
‘Cause I don’t appreciate this non-love that I’m getting, you know?
I’m getting the non-love right now
Let’s do it like this…you know why
[Verse 1]
I keep your picture beside my bed (Alright)
And I still remember every little thing you said
(Alright—can I get an ‘alright’?) (Well, alright)
I always thought that maybe baby our love was right but guess it was wrong
(Can y’all say ‘All wrong’) (All wrong) (Yeah)
Always thought you'd be by my side papa baby but now you're gone
(And I'm not liking that, you know what I’m saying?)
[Chorus]
What I wanna know, baby
If what we had was good, then say
How come you don't call me anymore, baby
You know what I’m saying? Anymore
I’ma have to take this to the bridge I’m so mad
[Bridge]
Sometimes it feels like I'm gonna die
If you don't call me Papa
Oh, you gotta try it
I'll get down on my knees
Hoping you please please please please please please please
Ooh, ooh, won't you call me sometime, Papa
[Pre-Chorus]
You know, I don’t—I’m trying to understand
What’s taking this man so long, you know what I mean?
I mean, just pick up the phone and call me
Let me hear y’all say it, just say ‘Call me’ (Call me)
Come on, say ‘Call me’ (Call me)
Yeah, yeah, say ‘Call me’ (Call me)
Say ‘Call me’ (Call me)
Come on, say ‘Call me’ (Call me)
Say ‘Call me’ (Call me)
Say ‘Call me’ (Call me)
Say ‘Call me’ (Call me)
Oh, call me, baby
Call me, call me, baby, call me anymore
Take me home, man, ha ha
[Chorus]
All I wanna know, baby, if what we had was good, then say
How come you don’t call me…
All I wanna know baby, if what we had was good, then say
How come you don’t call me
Oh, ho, I want you to call me, yeah
How come you don’t call me
I know that you want me, I know that you need me, hey
How come you don’t call me
Babe…baby, how come you don’t wanna call me anymore
[Outro]
Yeah, you know what I mean? This guy…
