Stevie wonder - how come, how long
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 anyonecould be
She had so much to live for
But she fell in love
With the wrong kind a 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
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 kind a man
And she paid with her life
For loving that man
So we can_not ig_nore
We must look for this signs
And may be next time
we might save
Somebody's life
How come how long
<!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> <!--[endif]-->
It's not right it's so wrong

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

I on occasion met
that guy He stirred up bad
feelings deep inside
Something about him
wasn't right
The way he proves himself a man
By beat in' his woman
with his hands
<!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> <!--[endif]-->
Oh I wish she'd seen the light
How can someone like that
Call himself a man
In reality he's far
more less than that
And we cannot ignore
Whenever
we see the signs
'Cause any kind a of abuse
God knows isn't right
How come how long
It's not right
it's so wrong
<!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> <!--[endif]-->
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
