[length: 05:15]
[00:03.00]There was a girl I used to know
[00:16.12]
[00:27.59]She was oh so beautiful
[00:30.35]But she’s not here anymore
[00:34.98]She had a college degree
[00:39.49]Smart as anyone could be
[00:42.25]Had so much to live for
[00:45.04]But she fell in love
[00:49.04]With the wrong kinda man
[00:51.64]He abused her love and treated her so bad
[00:57.44]There was not enough education in her world
[01:03.98]That could save the life of this little girl
[01:09.34]How come, how long
[01:13.21]It’s not right, it’s so wrong
[01:16.17]Do we let it just go on
[01:19.62]Turn our backs and carry on
[01:22.22]Wake up, for it’s too late
[01:25.24]Right now, we can’t wait
[01:28.16]She won’t have a second try
[01:31.57]Open up your hearts
[01:33.79]As well as your eyes
[01:37.38]She tried to give a cry for help
[01:41.27]
[01:50.42]She even blamed things on herself
[01:53.42]But no one came to her aid
[01:56.68]Nothing was wrong as far as we could tell
[02:00.21]
[02:02.28]That’s what we’d like to tell ourselves
[02:05.30]But no, it wasn’t that way
[02:08.40]So she fell in love
[02:12.06]With the wrong kinda man
[02:14.93]And she paid with her life
[02:17.96]For loving that man
[02:20.33]So we cannot ignore
[02:23.75]We must look for the signs
[02:26.65]And maybe next time
[02:29.88]We might save somebody’s life
[02:34.07]How come, how long
[02:36.46]It’s not right, it’s so wrong
[02:39.17]Do we let it just go on
[02:42.56]Turn our backs and carry on
[02:45.12]Wake up, for it’s too late
[02:48.01]Right now, we can’t wait
[02:51.05]She won’t have a second try
[02:54.44]Open up your hearts
[02:56.58]As well as your eyes
[03:03.65]I on occasion met that guy
[03:06.97]
[03:25.59]It’s been a feeling deep inside
[03:28.22]Something about him wasn’t right
[03:31.48]The way he proves himself a man
[03:37.03]By beatin’ his woman with his hands
[03:40.48]Oh I wish she’d seen the light
[03:43.65](Hey) How can someone like that
[03:46.83]Call himself a man (He’s not a man)
[03:50.17]Coz In reality he’s far more less than that
[03:56.17]And we cannot ignore
[03:58.45]Whenever we see the signs
[04:01.76]’Cause any kinda of abuse
[04:04.46]God knows it’s a crime
[04:08.75]How come (how come…), how long (how long…)
[04:11.56]It’s not right (it’s not right…), it’s so wrong (so wrong…)
[04:14.62]Do we let it just go on (just go…)
[04:17.19]Turn our backs and carry on
[04:20.13]Wake up (wake up…), for it’s too late (too late…)
[04:22.85]Right now (now…), we can’t wait (we can’t wait…)
[04:26.24]She won’t have a second try
[04:28.89]Open up your hearts
[04:31.53]As well as your eyes…
