| [00:23.35] |
There was a girl I used to know |
| [00:27.42] |
She was oh so beautiful |
| [00:30.62] |
She's not here anymore |
| [00:35.69] |
She had a college degree |
| [00:39.19] |
Smart as anyone could be |
| [00:42.22] |
Had so much to live for |
| [00:46.74] |
But she fell in love |
| [00:49.44] |
With the wrong kind of man |
| [00:52.53] |
He abused her love and treated her so bad |
| [00:58.14] |
There was not enough education in her world |
| [01:04.38] |
That could save the life of this little girl |
| [01:10.60] |
How come, how long |
| [01:13.43] |
It's not right, it's so wrong |
| [01:16.69] |
Do we let it just go on |
| [01:19.43] |
Turn our backs and carry on |
| [01:22.45] |
Wake up, for it's too late |
| [01:25.30] |
Right now, we can't wait |
| [01:28.41] |
She won't have a second try |
| [01:31.38] |
Open up your hearts |
| [01:33.81] |
As well as your eyes |
| [01:46.76] |
She tried to give a cry for help |
| [01:50.44] |
She even blamed things on herself |
| [01:53.49] |
But no one came to her aid |
| [01:59.15] |
Nothing was wrong far as we could tell |
| [02:02.26] |
That's what we'd like to tell ourselves |
| [02:05.41] |
But no, it wasn't that way |
| [02:09.56] |
So she fell in love |
| [02:12.66] |
With the wrong kind of man |
| [02:15.85] |
And she paid with her life |
| [02:18.06] |
For loving that man |
| [02:21.35] |
So we cannot ignore, |
| [02:23.97] |
We must look for the signs |
| [02:27.77] |
And maybe next time |
| [02:29.95] |
We might save somebody's life |
| [02:33.95] |
How come, how long |
| [02:36.58] |
It's not right, it's so wrong |
| [02:39.61] |
Do we let it just go on |
| [02:42.50] |
Turn our backs and carry on |
| [02:45.59] |
Wake up, for it's too late |
| [02:48.25] |
Right now, we can't wait |
| [02:51.23] |
She won't have a second try |
| [02:54.37] |
Open up your hearts |
| [02:56.59] |
As well as your eyes |
| [03:20.32] |
Oh I on occasion met that guy |
| [03:25.38] |
It's been a feeling deep inside |
| [03:28.55] |
Some about it wasn't right |
| [03:33.70] |
The way he proves himself a man |
| [03:37.25] |
By beating his woman with his hands |
| [03:40.46] |
Always wishing that she'd seen the light |
| [03:44.81] |
How can someone like that call himself a man |
| [03:49.81] |
He's not a man |
| [03:50.80] |
In reality, he's far more less than |
| [03:56.50] |
And we cannot ignore |
| [03:58.97] |
Whenever we see the signs |
| [04:02.65] |
Cause any kind of abuse |
| [04:04.60] |
God knows, it's a crime |
| [04:08.61] |
How come, how long |
| [04:11.44] |
It's not right, it's so wrong |
| [04:14.46] |
Do we let it just go on |
| [04:17.43] |
Turn our backs and carry on |
| [04:20.41] |
Wake up, for it's too late |
| [04:23.36] |
Right now, we can't wait |
| [04:26.51] |
She won't have a second try |
| [04:29.44] |
Open up your hearts As well as your eyes |
