How Come You Don't Call Me

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 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 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

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Indigo Sun's song "You Don't Fool Me" (Tango Café mix) tell the story of a person who is wondering why their lover has stopped calling them. The song seems to be about a past relationship that has ended, but the singer is still holding on to the hope that their lover will call them back. The person keeps a picture of their lover by their bed and remembers everything they said. They believed their love was strong, but their lover left them.


The singer still longs for their lover to call them and tries to understand why they haven't. The lyrics reveal a sense of desperation and frustration as the person pleads for their lover to call them back. The chorus repeats the question, "If what we had was good, how come you don't call me anymore?" It's clear that the singer is confused and hurt by their lover's sudden silence. They miss being held and want to know why their lover left them.


Overall, the song is a poignant reflection on the end of a relationship and the lingering feelings of loss and confusion that can follow. Despite the sadness of the lyrics, the Tango Café mix of the song adds an upbeat, danceable quality that emphasizes the emotional contradictions of the lyrics.
