[ti:how come how long]
[ar:babyface]
[00:01.990] 歌手:babyface
[00:24.842] There was a girl I used to know
[00:27.902] She was oh so beautiful
[00:30.906] But she's not here anymore
[00:36.576] She had a college degree
[00:39.636] Smart as anyone could be
[00:42.756] She had so much to live for
[00:47.426] But she fell in love
[00:49.846] With the wrong kinda of man
[00:53.196] He abused her love and treated her so bad
[00:59.716] There was not enough education in her world
[01:05.26] That could save the life of this little girl
[01:10.976] How come,how long
[01:13.866] It's not right,it's so wrong
[01:16.836] Do we let it just go on
[01:19.786] Turn our backs and carry on
[01:22.686] Wake up,for it's too late
[01:25.636] Right now,we can't wait
[01:28.596] She won't have a second try
[01:30.516] Open up your hearts
[01:33.676] As well as your eyes
[01:47.686] She tried to give a cry for help
[01:50.86] She even blamed things on herself
[01:52.626] But no one came to her aid
[01:59.806] Nothing was wrong as far as we could tell
[02:02.566] That's why we'd like to tell ourselves
[02:04.606] But not!It wasn't that way
[02:10.16] So she fell in love
[02:12.946] With the wrong kinda of man
[02:15.986] And she paid with her life
[02:18.06] For loving that man
[02:22.16] So we can not ignore
[02:24.306] We must look for the signs
[02:28.156] And maybe next time we might save somebody's life
[02:32.958] How come,how long
[02:36.798] It's not right,it's so wrong
[02:39.818] Do we let it just go on
[02:42.918] Turn our backs and carry on
[02:45.828] Wake up,for it's too late
[02:48.768] Right now,we can't wait
[02:51.668] She won't have a second try
[02:54.638] Open up your hearts
[02:56.428] As well as your eyes
[03:21.698] I on occasion met that guy
[03:25.648] Instantly feeling deep inside
[03:28.678] Something about him wasn't right
[03:34.424] The way he calls himself a man
[03:37.384] By beating his woman with his hands
[03:40.464] Oh I wish that she had seen the light
[03:45.94] How can someone like this call himself a man (He's not a man)
[03:51.264] Cuz in reality he's far more less than yeah
[03:56.804] And we cannot ignore whenever we see the signs
[04:03.34] Cause anykind of abuse god knows is a sign
[04:09.434] How come,how long
[04:11.684] It's not right,it's so wrong
[04:14.664] Do we let it just go on
[04:17.694] Turn our backs and carry on
[04:20.664] Wake up,for it's too late
[04:23.674] Right now,we can't wait
[04:26.644] She won't have a second try
[04:29.554] Open up your hearts
[04:31.412] As well as your eyes
