Babyface - How Come, How Long (feat. Stevie Wonder) текст песни

Исполнитель: Babyface

альбом: The Essential Babyface


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
Had so much to live for
But she fell in love
With the wrong kind 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, 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 kind 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, 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
(Ooh, oh)
I on occasion met that guy
He stirred a feeling deep inside
Somethin' 'bout him wasn't right
(Ooh) The way he proves himself a man
By beating his woman with his hands
I wish that she had seen the light
How can someone like this call themselves a man?
(He's not a man)
'Cause in reality, he's far more less than
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?
Turn our backs and carry on?
Wake up, 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
