[00:06.53] Stevie Wonder and Babyface
[00:07.38] There was a girl I used to know
[00:27.15] She was oh so beautiful
[00:30.69] But she's not here anymore
[00:35.34] She had a college degree
[00:38.79] Smart as anyone could be
[00:41.87] She had so much to live for
[00:46.08] But she fell in love
[00:49.48] With the wrong kinda man
[00:52.60] He abused her love and treated her so bad
[00:57.73] There was not enough education in her world
[01:04.37] That could save the life of this little girl
[01:10.56] How come, how long
[01:12.46] It's not right, it's so wrong
[01:16.51] Do we let it just go on
[01:19.84] Turn our backs and carry on
[01:22.52] Wake up, for it's too late
[01:25.57] Right now, we can't wait
[01:28.51] She won't have a second try
[01:28.75] Open up your hearts
[01:39.68] As well as your eyes
[01:40.23] She tried to give a cry for help
[01:50.19] She even blamed things on herself
[01:53.35] But no one came to her aid
[01:58.16] Nothing was wrong as far as we could tell
[02:01.81] That's what we'd like to tell ourselves
[02:05.18] But no, it wasn't that way
[02:09.68] So she fell in love
[02:13.70] With the wrong kinda man
[02:15.71] And she paid with her life
[02:17.80] For loving that man
[02:21.32] So we cannot ignore,
[02:23.40] We must look for the signs
[02:26.86] And maybe next time we might save
[02:30.52] somebody's life
[02:34.03] How come, how long
[02:36.85] It's not right, it's so wrong
[02:39.80] Do we let it just go on
[02:43.31] Turn our backs and carry on
[02:45.44] Wake up, for it's too late
[02:45.70] Right now, we can't wait
[02:51.04] She won't have a second try
[02:54.12] Open up your hearts
[02:59.47] As well as your eyes
[03:21.21] I on occasion met that guy
[03:25.13] It's been a feeling deep inside
[03:28.42] Some ... wasn't right
[03:33.23] The way he proves himself a man
[03:36.71] By beating his woman with his hands
[03:40.04] Oh I wish that she'd seen the light
[03:43.28] How can someone like that call himself a man
[03:50.40] He's not a man
[03:53.18] Soon reality ...
[03:57.08] And we cannot ignore
[03:58.35] Whenever we see the signs
[04:01.24] 'Cause any kind of abuse
[04:04.59] God knows, it's a crime
[04:08.54] How come, how long
[04:10.31] It's not right, it's so wrong
[04:14.39] Do we let it just go on
[04:18.55] Turn our backs and carry on
[04:20.72] Wake up, for it's too late
[04:23.82] Right now, we can't wait
[04:28.94] She won't have a second try
[04:32.48] Open up your hearts
[04:33.64] As well as your eyes
[04:35.18]
