How Come How Long lyrics

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

 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
