[00:23.41]There was a girl I used to know
[00:27.17]She was oh so beautiful
[00:29.64]But she’s not here anymore
[00:36.37]She had a college degree
[00:38.33]Smart as anyone could be
[00:42.36]Had so much to live for
[00:46.65]But she fell in love
[00:49.28]With the wrong kinda man
[00:52.58]He abused her love and treated her so bad
[00:58.26]There was not enough education in her world
[01:03.97]That could save the life of this little girl
[01:09.96]How come, how long
[01:13.22]It’s not right, it’s so wrong
[01:16.32]Do we let it just go on
[01:19.36]Turn our backs and carry on
[01:22.45]Wake up, for it’s too late
[01:24.59]Right now, we can’t wait
[01:28.26]She won’t have a second try
[01:31.89]Open up your hearts
[01:33.63]As well as your eyes
[01:46.78]She tried to give a cry for help
[01:49.94]She even blamed things on herself
[01:53.78]But no one came to her aid
[01:58.66]Nothing was wrong as far as we could tell
[02:02.23]That’s what we’d like to tell ourselves
[02:05.48]But no, it wasn’t that way
[02:09.17]So she fell in love
[02:11.76]With the wrong kinda man
[02:15.47]And she paid with her life
[02:18.16]For loving that man
[02:20.96]So we cannot ignore
[02:23.76]We must look for the signs
[02:27.12]And maybe next time
[02:29.89]We might save somebody’s life
[02:33.33]How come, how long
[02:35.96]It’s not right, it’s so wrong
[02:39.54]Do we let it just go on
[02:42.38]Turn our backs and carry on
[02:45.24]Wake up, for it’s too late
[02:48.12]Right now, we can’t wait
[02:51.64]She won’t have a second try
[02:54.90]Open up your hearts
[02:56.99]As well as your eyes
[03:21.58]I on occasion met that guy
[03:25.53]It’s been a feeling deep inside
[03:28.24]Something about him wasn’t right
[03:34.33]The way he proves himself a man
[03:36.92]By beatin’ his woman with his hands
[03:40.10]Oh I wish she’d seen the light
[03:44.72](Hey) How can someone like that
[03:47.43]Call himself a man (He’s not a man)
[03:50.97]Coz In reality he’s far more less than that
[03:56.66]And we cannot ignore
[03:58.32]Whenever we see the signs
[04:02.43]’Cause any kinda of abuse
[04:04.78]God knows it’s a crime
[04:09.09]How come (how come…), how long (how long…)
[04:11.51]It’s not right (it’s not right…), it’s so wrong (so wrong…)
[04:14.34]Do we let it just go on (just go…)
[04:18.06]Turn our backs and carry on
[04:20.16]Wake up (wake up…), for it’s too late (too late…)
[04:23.19]Right now (now…), we can’t wait (we can’t wait…)
[04:25.82]She won’t have a second try
[04:28.98]Open up your hearts
[04:31.39]As well as your eyes…
