作词 : Babyface, Wonder 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 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, for it's too late Right now, we can't wait She won't have a second try Open up your hearts As well 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 why we'd like to tell ourselves But not! It wasn't that way So she fell in love With the wrong kinda of man And she paid with her life For loving that man So we can not ignore We must look for the signs And maybe next time we might save somebody's life 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 well as your eyes
I on occasion met that guy Instantly feeling deep inside Something about him wasn't right
The way he calls himself a man By beating his woman with his hands Oh I wish that she had seen the light How can someone like this call himself a man (He's not a man) Cuz in reality he's far more less than yeah And we cannot ignore whenever we see the signs Cause anykind of abuse god knows is a crime 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 well as your eyes
