Lyrics How Come, How Long

Hmm oh oh yeah oh yeah whoa
There was a girl I used to know she was oh so beautiful she's not here anymore
She had a college degree smart as anyone could be had so much to live for
But she fell in love with the wrong kind of 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 well
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 before 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
Ooh whoa yeah
She tried to give a cry for help she even blamed it 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 kind of 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
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 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
Oh oh yeah
I on occasion met that guy
Whoa extend the feelings deep inside
Ooh
Somethin' about it wasn't right
Oh-o-o-oh
The way he proves himself a man by beating his woman
With his hands
I wish that she had seen the light
Wooh
How can someone like this call themselves a man
He's not a man
Cos' in reality he's far more less than
And we cannot ignore
Wooh whenever we see the signs
Eh eh eh
Cos' any kind of abuse
God knows is a crime
How come
How long how long
It's not right
Not right so wrong
Do we let it just go on turn our backs and carry on
Wake up
Wake up it's too late it's too late
Right now
Oh can't wait can't wait
She won't have a second try
Open up your hearts as well as
Your eyes
Na na na na na
Yeah yeah yeah eh yeah
Whoa oh oh oh
Oh whoa oh
Ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh da da da da da da da da da da
Da da da da da da da
Da da da da da da da oh whoa oh whoa
Oh oh oh
