| There was a girl I used to know
|
| She was oh so beautiful
|
| But she’s not here anymore
|
| She had a college degree
|
| Smart as anyone could be
|
| She had so much to live for
|
| But she fell in love
|
| With the wrong kinda man
|
| He abused her love and treated her so bad
|
| There was not enough education in her world
|
| That could save the life of this little girl
|
| Chorus:
|
| How come, how long
|
| It’s not right, it’s so wrong
|
| Do we let it just go on
|
| Turn our backs and carry on
|
| Wake up, for it’s too late
|
| Right now, we can’t wait
|
| She won’t have a second try
|
| Open up your hearts
|
| As well as your eyes
|
| She tried to give a cry for help
|
| She even blamed things on herself
|
| But no one came to her aid
|
| Nothing was wrong as far as we could tell
|
| That’s what we’d like to tell ourselves
|
| But no! |
| It wasn’t that way
|
| So she fell in love
|
| With the wrong kinda man
|
| And she paid with her life
|
| For loving that man
|
| So we cannot ignore
|
| We must look for this signs
|
| And maybe next time we might save
|
| Somebody’s life
|
| Chorus
