No, I'm not gonna cry about it, no
But the feeling, I could sure do without it, yeah
Gave you all my time and all of my patience
For you to turn around (turn around) and just leave me in the dark
So what makes you think that you
Could treat me the way you do?
The way that you do?

'Cause you don't call anymore
'Cause I'm still thinking 'bout you
Have you found somebody new?
I guess the rumors are true
You don't call anymore

Guess I was there to pass the time
Till someone better caught your eye
A little beating to my pride
Like a crеdit card that's been declined, yeah
And who knеw when you'd call drunk at night

I'd be your perfect alibi, lady
Look how you played me, yeah
So what makes you think that you
Could treat me the way you do?
The way that you do?

'Cause you don't call anymore
'Cause I'm still thinking 'bout you
Have you found somebody new?
I guess the rumors are true
'Cause you don't call anymore

And I'm still thinking 'bout why
I fell for all of your lies
Yeah, you hurt me and I can't deny
No, you don't call anymore

You don't call anymore, more, no
So come on girl, why you gonna waste my time?
Have you got someone else in mind?
Come on now, don't lie
I know you're feeling my vibe

This ain't no game that I'm playing
Boy, oi, oi
'Cause I'm a wanted man
Yeah, I'm a slick-dressed smooth-talking lady's man
Guess you can't handle that
'Cause you don't call me back, no

'Cause you don't call anymore
'Cause I'm still thinking 'bout you
Have you found somebody new?
I guess the rumors are true
'Cause you don't call anymore

And I'm still thinking 'bout why
I fell for all of your lies
Yeah, you hurt me and I can't deny
No, you don't call anymore

UB40 are an English reggae and pop band, formed in December 1978 in Birmingham. The band has had more than 50 singles in the UK Singles Chart. They have been nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Reggae Album four times, and in 1984 were nominated for the Brit Award for Best British Group. UB40 have sold over 70 million records. The ethnic make-up of the band’s original line-up was diverse, with musicians of English, Irish, Jamaican, Scottish and Yemeni parentage.

Their hit singles include their debut “Food for Thought”, “Red Red Wine” and “Can’t Help Falling in Love”. Both of these also topped the UK Singles Chart, as did the band’s version of “I Got You Babe”. Their two most successful albums, Labour of Love (1983) and Promises and Lies (1993), reached number one on the UK Albums Chart.

On January 24, 2008, it was announced that Ali Campbell would be leaving the group after 30 years. It was reported by some Birmingham newspapers on 13 March 2008, that Maxi Priest would be the new lead singer of UB40 and had recorded a cover of Bob Marley’s “I Shot the Sheriff” with the band.
