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 kind of man
He abused her love and treated her so bad
There was not enough education in her world
That could save the 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 tell ourselves
But no, it wasn't that way
So she fell in love with the wrong kind of man
And she paid with her life for loving that man
So we cannot ignore, we must look for the signs
And maybe next time we might 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 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
