How Come, How Long - Babyface
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
