How Come, How Long by Babyface & Stevie Wonder

There was a girl I (1)________ to know
She was (oh) so beautiful
But she's not here anymore
She had a (2)______________ degree
Smart as (3)____________ (4)__________ be
Had so much to live for
But she fell in love
With the wrong kinda man
He (5)____________ her love and treated her so bad
There was not enough education in her world
That could (6)________ 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 (7)__________ 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 (8)________ as your eyes

She tried to give a cry for help
She (9)________ blamed things on herself
But no one came to her aid
Nothing was (10)__________ as far as we could tell
That's what we'd like to tell our self
But no, it wasn't (11)________ way
So she fell in love
With the wrong kinda man
And she (12)________ (13)________ her life
For loving (14)________ man
So we cannot ignore
We must (15)________ for the signs
And (16)__________ next time
We must 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 (17)__________ and carry on
Wake up, for it's too late
Right now, we can't wait
She won't have a (18)____________ try
Open up your hearts
As well as your eyes

I on occasion met that guy
It's been a feeling deep inside
Something about him wasn't right
The way he proves (19)______________ a man
By beatin' his woman with his hands
(Oh) I wish she'd seen the light
How can someone like that
Call himself a man (He's not a man)
In reality he's far more (20)________ than that
And we cannot ignore
Whenever we see the signs
'Cause any (21)__________ 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 (22)__________ on
Wake up, for it's too late
Right now, we can't wait
She won't (23)________ a second try
Open up your hearts
As (24)________ as your eyes
