How Come, How Long (Feat. Stevie Wonder)

There was a girl I used to know She was oh so beau_ti_ful But she's not here a_ny_more She had a col_lege de_gree Smart as a_ny_one could be She had so much to live for But she fell in love With the wrong kind_a man He abused her love and treated her so bad There was not e_nough e_du_ca_tion in her world That could save the life Of this lit_tle girl How come how long It's not right it's so wrong Do we let it just go on turn our backs and car_ry on Wake up for it's too late Right now we can't wait She won't have a se_cond try O_pen up your hearts as well as your eyes@ She tried to give a cry for help She e_ven blamed things on her_self But no one came to her aid No_thing was wrong as far as we could tell That's what we'd like to tell our_selves but no it was_n't that way So she fell in love with the wrong kind_a man And she paid with her life For lov_ing that man So we can_not ig_nore We must look for this signs And may_be next time we might save Some_bo_dy'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 car_ry on Wake up for it's too late Right now we can't wait She won't have a se_cond try O_pen up your hearts as well as your eyes@ I on oc_ca_sion met that guy He stirred up bad fee_lings deep in_side Some_thing a_bout him was_n't right The way he proves him_self a man By beat_in' his wo_man with his hands Oh I wish she'd seen the light How can some_one like that Call him_self a man In re_a_li_ty he's far more less than that And we can_not ig_nore When_e_ver we see the signs 'Cause any kind_a of a_buse God knows is_n't right How come how long It's not right it's so wrong Do we let it just go on turn our backs and car_ry on Wake up for it's too late Right now we can't wait She won't have a se_cond try O_pen up your hearts as well as your eyes
