Lyrics

[00:00.00] 作词 : Babyface, Wonder
[00:24.84] There was a girl I used to know
[00:27.90] She was oh so beautiful
[00:29.84]
[00:30.91] But she's not here anymore
[00:34.95]
[00:36.58] She had a college degree
[00:39.64] Smart as anyone could be
[00:42.76] She had so much to live for
[00:46.54]
[00:47.43] But she fell in love
[00:49.85] With the wrong kinda of man
[00:53.20] He abused her love and treated her so bad
[00:58.52]
[00:59.72] There was not enough education in her world
[01:05.03] That could save the life of this little girl
[01:10.98] How come, how long
[01:13.87] It's not right, it's so wrong
[01:16.84] Do we let it just go on
[01:19.79] Turn our backs and carry on
[01:22.69] Wake up, for it's too late
[01:25.64] Right now, we can't wait
[01:28.60] She won't have a second try
[01:30.52] Open up your hearts
[01:33.68] As well as your eyes
[01:39.24]
[01:47.69] She tried to give a cry for help
[01:50.09] She even blamed things on herself
[01:52.63] But no one came to her aid
[01:58.42]
[01:59.81] Nothing was wrong as far as we could tell
[02:02.57] That's why we'd like to tell ourselves
[02:04.61] But not! It wasn't that way
[02:10.02] So she fell in love
[02:12.95] With the wrong kinda of man
[02:15.99] And she paid with her life
[02:18.01] For loving that man
[02:22.02] So we can not ignore
[02:24.31] We must look for the signs
[02:28.16] And maybe next time we might save somebody's life
[02:32.96] How come, how long
[02:36.80] It's not right, it's so wrong
[02:39.82] Do we let it just go on
[02:42.92] Turn our backs and carry on
[02:45.83] Wake up, for it's too late
[02:48.77] Right now, we can't wait
[02:51.67] She won't have a second try
[02:54.64] Open up your hearts
[02:56.43] As well as your eyes
[03:01.97]
[03:21.70] I on occasion met that guy
[03:25.65] Instantly feeling deep inside
[03:28.68] Something about him wasn't right
[03:32.01]
[03:34.42] The way he calls himself a man
[03:37.38] By beating his woman with his hands
[03:40.46] Oh I wish that she had seen the light
[03:45.09] How can someone like this call himself a man (He's not a man)
[03:51.26] Cuz in reality he's far more less than yeah
[03:56.80] And we cannot ignore whenever we see the signs
[04:03.03] Cause anykind of abuse god knows is a sign
[04:09.43] How come, how long
[04:11.68] It's not right, it's so wrong
[04:14.66] Do we let it just go on
[04:17.69] Turn our backs and carry on
[04:20.66] Wake up, for it's too late
[04:23.67] Right now, we can't wait
[04:26.64] She won't have a second try
[04:29.55] Open up your hearts
[04:31.41] As well as your eyes
