"How Come You Don't Call Me Anymore" LIVE
Minneapolis
December 11th, 1997

lyrics:
I keep Ur picture beside my bed
And I still remember everything U 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, ooh yeah
(I always said that we were kinda cute together myself)
Tell me baby, baby, baby, why, 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
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?
