Lyrics

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
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
Yeah
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
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
I on occasion met that guy
He stirred up bad feelings deep inside
Something about him wasn't right
Oh, he proves himself a man
By beatin' his woman with his hands
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 is a crime
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
Yeah
