How Come How Long Lyrics

How Come How Long lyrics

There was a girl I used to know

 She was oh so beautiful

 But she's 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

 It's not right, it's so wrong

 Do we let it just go on

 Turn our backs and carry on

 Wake up, for it's too late

 Right now, we can't wait

 She won't 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

 That's what we'd like to tell ourselves

 But no! it wasn't 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 the signs

 And maybe next time we might save

 somebody's life 

 

 Chorus 

 

 Repeat first verse
