Babyface - How Come, How Long
|
|
there was a girl i used to know
|
she was oh so beautiful
|
but she's not here anymore
|
she had a college degree
|
smart as anyone could be
|
she had so much to live for
|
but she fell in love
|
with the wrong kinda man
|
he abused her love and treated her so bad
|
there was not enough education in her world
|
that could save the life of this little girl
|
|
how come, how long
|
it's not right, it's so wrong
|
do we let it just go on
|
turn our backs and carry on
|
wake up, for it's too late
|
right now, we can't wait
|
she won't have a second try
|
open up your hearts
|
as weel as your eyes
|
she tried to give a cry for help
|
she even blamed things on herself
|
but no one came to her aid
|
nothing was wrong as far as we could tell
|
that's what we'd like to tell ourselves
|
but no! it wasn't that way
|
so she fell in love
|
with the wrong kinda man
|
and she paid with her life
|
for loving that man
|
so we cannot ignore,
|
we must look for this signs
|
and maybe next time we might save
|
somebody's life
|
|
(chorus)
|
|
(repeat first verse)
