Lời bài hát How Come, How Long (Album Version)
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 kind of man
And he abused her love
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 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 may 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 heart
As well as your eyes
I on occasion met that guy
He stirred up feeling
Deep inside
Something about him
Wasn't right
The way he proves
Himself a man
By beating his woman
With his hands
Oh I wish that
She was still alive
How can someone like that
Call himself a man
He's not a man
Cause in reality
He's far more less than that
And we cannot ignore
Whenever we see the signs
Cause any kind 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 just go on
Turn our backs
And carry on got me
Wake up 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
