Karaoke Track: How Come, How Long by Babyface Feat. Stevie Wonder (Sunfly) - Karaoke Nerds

There was a girl
I used to know

she was oh so beautiful
but she's not here
any more

She had a college degree

smart as anyone could he
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 had

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 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

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

Instrumental
18 seconds

Oh oh I on occasion met
that guy he stirred had
feelings deep inside
something about him
wasn't right

Woah oh
the way he proves

himself a man
by heatin' his woman
with his hands

I wish that she would
see the light

how can someone
like this
call himself 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 it's 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 we ...... II as your eyes
