"How Come You Don’t Call Me" is a song by American recording artist Alicia Keys from her debut studio album Songs in A Minor. It was released in the United States on June 5, 2001 by J Records. After graduating from high school, Keys signed with Columbia Records to begin her music career. She recorded an album in 1998 under the label, which they rejected. Her contract subsequently ended with Columbia after a dispute with the label, and Keys later signed with Clive Davis. An accomplished, classically trained pianist, Keys wrote, arranged and produced a majority of the album, including "Jane Doe", which was the only song in the key of A minor.

Songs in A Minor is a neo soul album with a diverse musical style that incorporates hip hop, soul, jazz and elements of gospel music. Its songs feature classical piano references and arpeggios, and are backed by haunting melodies, funk, classic soul structures, values to hyper-modern production technique and lyrics about the complexities and stages of romantic relationships. All of the album content was co-written by Keys except for two; one being a cover of Prince's "How Come U Don't Call Me Anymore?" (1982).

Upon its release, the album received generally positive reviews from music critics, who noted her ability to catch an old-school jazz sound and mix it with R&B and soul melodies. The album earned Keys several awards and accolades, including five Grammy Awards at the 44th Grammy Awards. Songs in A Minor debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 chart, selling over 236,000 copies in its first week. It has sold over 6.2 million copies in the United States and twelve million copies worldwide. Rolling Stone magazine named Songs in A Minor the second best album of 2001, while ranking it number 95 on its list of the best albums of the 2000s decade. In 2013 Entertainment Weekly ranked the album at the 57th position among the greatest albums of all time. - wikipedia

How Come You Don’t Call Me

Lyrics:

But all I wanna know is baby 

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 a rainy night 

Still like it better when your holding me tight 

Everybody said

Everybody said that we should never part (mmm) 

Tell me baby baby baby why 

Why you wanna go and break my heart 

All I wanna 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 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
