Babyface - How Come, How Long Lyrics
Written by babyface, stevie wonder (1997)There was a girl I used to knowShe was oh so beautifulBut shes not here anymoreShe had a college degreeSmart as anyone could beShe had so much to live forBut she fell in loveWith the wrong kinda manHe abused her love and treated her so badThere was not enough education in her worldThat could save the life of this little girlHow come, how longIts not right, its so wrongDo we let it just go onTurn our backs and carry onWake up, for its too 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 wed like to tell ourselvesBut no, it wasnt that waySo she fell in loveWith the wrong kinda manAnd she paid with her lifeFor loving that manSo we cannot ignoreWe must look for the signsAnd maybe next timeWe might save somebodys lifeHookI on occasion met that guyHe stirred up bad feelings deep insideSomething about him wasnt rightThe way he proves himself a manBy beatin his woman with his handsOh I wish shed seen the lightHow can someone like thatCall himself a manIn reality hes far more less than thatAnd we cannot ignoreWhenever we see the signscause any kinda of abuseGod knows isnt rightHook
