How Come, How Long - Babyface (娃娃脸)

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 could 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 heart as well as your eyes

I on occasion met that guy

He stirred up feeling 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 that she was still alive

How can someone like that call himself a man he's not a man

'Cause in reality he's far more less than that

And we cannot ignore at all whenever we see the signs

'Cause any kind 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

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 heart as well as your eyes

Say open up your eyes today

Don't let it be too late

Open up your hearts and do it right away

Oh as well as you eyes
