How come, how long

Babyface--How Come,How Long

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 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 t
