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 kind of 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, It’s too late
Right now, We cant wait
She wont have a second try
Open up your heart
As well as your eyes
She tried to give a cry for help
She even balmed 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’s wasn’t that way
So she fell in love With the wrong kind of man
And she paid with her life
For loving that man
So we cannot ignore
We must look for signs
And maybe next time
We might save somebody’s life
HOOK
I on occasion met that guy
He stirred up bad feelings deep inside
Something about him wasn’t right
The way he proves himself a man
By beating his women with his hands
Oh I wish she’d seen the light
How can someone like that
Call himself a man
In reality he’s far more less than that
And we cannot ignore
Whenever we see the signs
‘Cause any kinda of abuse
God knows isn’t right
