Lyrics

[00:00.00] 作词 : Babyface, Wonder
[00:50.040] There was a girl I used to know
[00:53.100] She was oh so beautiful
[00:55.040]
[00:56.110] But she's not here anymore
[01:00.150]
[01:01.780] She had a college degree
[01:04.840] Smart as anyone could be
[01:07.960] She had so much to live for
[01:11.740]
[01:12.630] But she fell in love
[01:15.050] With the wrong kinda of man
[01:18.400] He abused her love and treated her so bad
[01:23.720]
[01:25.220] There was not enough education in her world
[01:30.830] That could save the life of this little girl
[01:37.080] How come, how long
[01:39.970] It's not right, it's so wrong
[01:42.940] Do we let it just go on
[01:45.890] Turn our backs and carry on
[01:48.790] Wake up, for it's too late
[01:51.740] Right now, we can't wait
[01:54.700] She won't have a second try
[01:56.620] Open up your hearts
[01:59.780] As well as your eyes
[02:05.340]
[02:13.790] She tried to give a cry for help
[02:16.190] She even blamed things on herself
[02:18.730] But no one came to her aid
[02:24.520]
[02:25.910] Nothing was wrong as far as we could tell
[02:28.670] That's why we'd like to tell ourselves
[02:30.710] But not! It wasn't that way
[02:36.120] So she fell in love
[02:39.050] With the wrong kinda of man
[02:42.090] And she paid with her life
[02:44.110] For loving that man
[02:48.120] So we can not ignore
[02:50.410] We must look for the signs
[02:54.260] And maybe next time we might save somebody's life
[02:59.060] How come, how long
[03:02.900] It's not right, it's so wrong
[03:05.920] Do we let it just go on
[03:09.020] Turn our backs and carry on
[03:11.930] Wake up, for it's too late
[03:14.870] Right now, we can't wait
[03:17.770] She won't have a second try
[03:20.740] Open up your hearts
[03:22.530] As well as your eyes
[03:28.070]
[03:47.800] I on occasion met that guy
[03:51.750] Instantly feeling deep inside
[03:54.780] Something about him wasn't right
[03:58.110]
[04:00.520] The way he calls himself a man
[04:03.480] By beating his woman with his hands
[04:06.560] Oh I wish that she had seen the light
[04:11.190] How can someone like this call himself a man （He's not a man）
[04:17.360] Cuz in reality he's far more less than yeah
[04:22.900] And we cannot ignore whenever we see the signs
[04:29.130] Cause anykind of abuse god knows is a sign
[04:35.530] How come, how long
[04:37.780] It's not right, it's so wrong
[04:40.760] Do we let it just go on
[04:43.790] Turn our backs and carry on
[04:46.760] Wake up, for it's too late
[04:49.770] Right now, we can't wait
[04:52.740] She won't have a second try
[04:55.650] Open up your hearts
[04:57.510] As well as your eyes
