How Come, How Long

The Day专辑

  • 作词 : Babyface, Wonder
    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 of 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 why we'd like to tell ourselves
    But not! It wasn't that way
    So she fell in love
    With the wrong kinda of man
    And she paid with her life
    For loving that man
    So we can not ignore
    We must look for the signs
    And maybe next time we might save somebody's life
    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

    I on occasion met that guy
    Instantly feeling deep inside
    Something about him wasn't right

    The way he calls himself a man
    By beating his woman with his hands
    Oh I wish that she had seen the light
    How can someone like this call himself a man (He's not a man)
    Cuz in reality he's far more less than yeah
    And we cannot ignore whenever we see the signs
    Cause anykind of abuse god knows is a crime
    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
