How Come, How Long |
| 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 |
| 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 the signs |
| And maybe next time |
| We might save somebody’s life |
| Hook |
| I on occasion met that guy |
| He stirred up bad feelings deep inside |
| Something about him wasn’t right |
| The way he proves himself a man |
| By beatin' his woman with his hands |
| Oh i wish she’d seen the light |
| How can someone like that |
| Call himself a man |
| In reality he’s far more less than that |
| And we cannot ignore |
| Whenever we see the signs |
| 'cause any kinda of abuse |
| God knows isn’t right |
| Hook |
