How Come, How long

There was a girl I use to knowShe was oh so beautifulBut shes not here any moreShe had a collage degreeSamart as anyone could beShe had so much to live forBut she fell in loveWith the wrong kinda manHa abused her love and traeted her so badThere was not enough education in her worldThat could save the life of this little girl.How come,how longIts not right, its so wrongDo we let it just go onTurn our backs and cary onWake up, for its to lateRight now, we cant waitShe wont have a second tryOpen up your heartsAs well as your eyesShe tried to give a cry for helpShe even blamed things on herselfBut no-one came to her aidNothing was wrong as far as we could tellThats what we'd like to tell ourselvesBut no it wasn't that waySo she fell in loveWith the wrong kinda manAnd she paid with her lifeFor loving that manSo we can not ignoreWe must look for the signsAnd maybe next timeWe might save somebodys life.How come, how longIt's not right, its so wrongDo we lwt it just go onTurn our backs and carry onWake up for it's to lateRight now we cant waitShe wont have a second tryOpen up your heartsAs well as your eyesI on occasion met that guyIts been a feeling deep insideSomething about him wasnt rightThe way he proves himself a manBy beating his woman with his handsOh i'd wish that she'd seen the lightHow can someone like that call himself a manHe's not manSoon reality is far.....And we can not ignoreWe must look for the signsCause any kind of abuseGod knows is a crimeHow come, how longIts not right its so wrongDo we let it just go onTurn our backs and carry onWake up for it's to lateRight now we can't waitShe won't have a second tryOpen up your heartsAs well as your eyes
