How Come, How Long by Babyface & Stevie Wonder
There was a girl I used to know
She was (oh) so beautiful
But she's not (1)________ anymore
She had a (2)______________ degree
Smart as anyone could be
Had so much to live for
But she fell in love
With the wrong kinda man
He (3)____________ her love and treated her so bad
There was not enough (4)__________________ in her world
That could save life of (5)________ 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 (6)________ hearts
As well as your eyes
She tried to give a cry for help
She (7)________ blamed things on herself
But no one came to her aid
Nothing was (8)__________ as far as we could tell
That's what we'd like to (9)________ our self
But no, it wasn't that way
So she (10)________ in love
With the wrong kinda man
And she (11)________ with her life
For loving that man
So we cannot ignore
We must look for the signs
And maybe next time
We must save somebody's life
How come, how long
It's not right, it's so wrong
Do we let it (12)________ go on
Turn our backs and (13)__________ 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
I on (14)________________ met that guy
It's been a (15)______________ deep inside
Something about him wasn't right
The way he proves himself a man
By beatin' his (16)__________ with his hands
(Oh) I wish she'd (17)________ the light
How can someone (18)________ that
Call (19)______________ a man (He's not a man)
In reality he's far (20)________ less than that
And we (21)____________ ignore
Whenever we see the signs
'Cause any kinda 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, for it's too late
Right now, we can't wait
She won't have a (22)____________ try
Open up (23)________ hearts
As (24)________ as (25)________ eyes
She was (oh) so beautiful
