Babyface & Stevie Wonder - How Come, How Long

===============================================



There was a girl I used to know



She was oh so beautiful



But shes 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







Chorus:



How come, how long



Its not right, its so wrong



Do we let it just go on



Turn our backs and carry on



Wake up, for its too late



Right now, we cant wait



She wont 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



Thats what wed like to tell ourselves



But no! It wasnt 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 this signs



And maybe next time we might save



Somebodys life







Chorus







There was a girl I used to know



She was oh so beautiful



But shes 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
