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
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
Oooh
Yeah
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
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
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
