How Come, How Long LRC歌词

[00:00.000] 作词 : Babyface, Wonder

[00:24.84]There was a girl I used to know

[00:27.90]She was oh so beautiful

[00:29.84]

[00:30.91]But she's not here anymore

[00:34.95]

[00:36.58]She had a college degree

[00:39.64]Smart as anyone could be

[00:42.76]She had so much to live for

[00:46.54]

[00:47.43]But she fell in love

[00:49.85]With the wrong kinda of man

[00:53.20]He abused her love and treated her so bad

[00:58.52]

[00:59.72]There was not enough education in her world

[01:05.03]That could save the life of this little girl

[01:10.98]How come, how long

[01:13.87]It's not right, it's so wrong

[01:16.84]Do we let it just go on

[01:19.79]Turn our backs and carry on

[01:22.69]Wake up, for it's too late

[01:25.64]Right now, we can't wait

[01:28.60]She won't have a second try

[01:30.52]Open up your hearts

[01:33.68]As well as your eyes

[01:39.24]

[01:47.69]She tried to give a cry for help

[01:50.09]She even blamed things on herself

[01:52.63]But no one came to her aid

[01:58.42]

[01:59.81]Nothing was wrong as far as we could tell

[02:02.57]That's why we'd like to tell ourselves

[02:04.61]But not! It wasn't that way

[02:10.02]So she fell in love

[02:12.95]With the wrong kinda of man

[02:15.99]And she paid with her life

[02:18.01]For loving that man

[02:22.02]So we can not ignore

[02:24.31]We must look for the signs

[02:28.16]And maybe next time we might save somebody's life

[02:32.96]How come, how long

[02:36.80]It's not right, it's so wrong

[02:39.82]Do we let it just go on

[02:42.92]Turn our backs and carry on

[02:45.83]Wake up, for it's too late

[02:48.77]Right now, we can't wait

[02:51.67]She won't have a second try

[02:54.64]Open up your hearts

[02:56.43]As well as your eyes

[03:01.97]

[03:21.70]I on occasion met that guy

[03:25.65]Instantly feeling deep inside

[03:28.68]Something about him wasn't right

[03:32.01]

[03:34.42]The way he calls himself a man

[03:37.38]By beating his woman with his hands

[03:40.46]Oh I wish that she had seen the light

[03:45.09]How can someone like this call himself a man （He's not a man）

[03:51.26]Cuz in reality he's far more less than yeah

[03:56.80]And we cannot ignore whenever we see the signs

[04:03.03]Cause anykind of abuse god knows is a crime

[04:09.43]How come, how long

[04:11.68]It's not right, it's so wrong

[04:14.66]Do we let it just go on

[04:17.69]Turn our backs and carry on

[04:20.66]Wake up, for it's too late

[04:23.67]Right now, we can't wait

[04:26.64]She won't have a second try

[04:29.55]Open up your hearts

[04:31.41]As well as your eyes
