There was a girl
I used to know
She was oh so beau_ti_ful
But she's not here
a_ny_more
She had a
col_lege de_gree
Smart as a_ny_one
could 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 e_nough
e_du_ca_tion in her world
That could
save the life
Of this lit_tle girl
How come
how long
It's not right
it's so wrong
Do we let it just go on
turn our backs
and car_ry on
Wake up
for it's too late
Right now
we can't wait
She won't have a
se_cond try
O_pen up your hearts
as well as your eyes@
She tried to give
a cry for help
She e_ven blamed things
on her_self
But no one
came to her aid
No_thing was wrong
as far as we could tell
That's what we'd like
to tell our_selves
but no
it was_n't that way
So she fell in love
with the wrong
kind_a man
And she paid
with her life
For lov_ing that man
So we can_not ig_nore
We must look
for this signs
And may_be next time
we might save
Some_bo_dy'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 car_ry on
Wake up
for it's too late
Right now
we can't wait
She won't have a
se_cond try
O_pen up your hearts
as well as your eyes@
I on oc_ca_sion met
that guy
He stirred up bad
fee_lings deep in_side
Some_thing a_bout him
was_n't right
The way he proves
him_self a man
By beat_in' his wo_man
with his hands
Oh I wish she'd
seen the light
How can some_one
like that
Call him_self a man
In re_a_li_ty he's far
more less than that
And we can_not ig_nore
When_e_ver
we see the signs
'Cause any kind_a
of a_buse
God knows is_n't right
How come
how long
It's not right
it's so wrong
Do we let it just go on
turn our backs
and car_ry on
Wake up
for it's too late
Right now
we can't wait
