《How Come How Long》歌词

[00:00:00] How Come How Long (怎么会这样) - R&B Christmas

[00:00:12] There was a girl I used to know

[00:00:16] She was oh so beautiful

[00:00:19] But she's not here anymore

[00:00:24] She had a college degree

[00:00:27] Smart as anyone could be

[00:00:30] She had so much to live for

[00:00:35] But she fell in love

[00:00:37] With the wrong kinda of man

[00:00:41] He abused her love and treated her so bad

[00:00:47] There was not enough education in her world

[00:00:53] That could save the life of this little girl

[00:00:59] How come how long

[00:01:01] It's not right it's so wrong

[00:01:05] Do we let it just go on

[00:01:07] Turn our backs and carry on

[00:01:10] Wake up for it's too late

[00:01:13] Right now we can't wait

[00:01:16] She won't have a second try

[00:01:19] Open up your hearts

[00:01:22] As well as your eyes

[00:01:35] She tried to give a cry for help

[00:01:38] She even blamed things on herself

[00:01:41] But no one came to her aid

[00:01:47] Nothing was wrong as far as we could tell

[00:01:50] That's why we'd like to tell ourselves

[00:01:53] But not It wasn't that way

[00:01:57] So she fell in love

[00:02:00] With the wrong kinda of man

[00:02:04] And she paid with her life

[00:02:06] For loving that man

[00:02:09] So we can not ignore

[00:02:12] We must look for the signs

[00:02:15] And maybe next time we might save somebody's life

[00:02:22] How come how long

[00:02:24] It's not right it's so wrong

[00:02:27] Do we let it just go on

[00:02:30] Turn our backs and carry on

[00:02:33] Wake up for it's too late

[00:02:36] Right now we can't wait

[00:02:39] She won't have a second try

[00:02:42] Open up your hearts

[00:02:44] As well as your eyes

[00:02:58] I on occasion met that guy

[00:03:01] Instantly feeling deep inside

[00:03:05] Something about him wasn't right

[00:03:10] The way he calls himself a man

[00:03:13] By beating his woman with his hands

[00:03:16] Oh I wish that she had seen the light

[00:03:21] How can someone like this call himself a man

[00:03:25] （He's not a man）

[00:03:27] Cuz in reality he's far more less than yeah

[00:03:33] And we cannot ignore whenever we see the signs

[00:03:38] Cause anykind of abuse god knows is a sign

[00:03:45] How come how long

[00:03:47] It's not right it's so wrong

[00:03:51] Do we let it just go on

[00:03:53] Turn our backs and carry on

[00:03:56] Wake up for it's too late

[00:03:59] Right now we can't wait

[00:04:02] She won't have a second try

[00:04:05] Open up your hearts

[00:04:07] As well as your eyes
