Version 2 of the lyrics

  There was a girl I used to know  There was a girl I used to know
  She was oh so beautiful  She was oh so beautiful
  But she's not here anymore  But she's not here anymore
  She had a college degree  She had a college degree
  Smart as anyone could be  Smart as anyone could be
1  Had      so much to live for   She had so much to live for 1
  But she fell in love  But she fell in love
  With the wrong kind of man  With the wrong kind of man
  He abused her love and  He abused her love and
  treated her so bad  treated her so bad
  There was not enough  There was not enough
  education in her world  education in her world
  That could save the life  That could save the life
  of this little girl  of this little girl
      
  How come, how long  How come, how long
  It's not right, it's so wrong  It's not right, it's so wrong
  Do we let it just go on  Do we let it just go on
  Turn our backs and carry on  Turn our backs and carry on
  Wake up, for it's too late  Wake up, for it's too late
  Right now, we can't wait  Right now, we can't wait
  She won't have a second try  She won't have a second try
  Open up your hearts  Open up your hearts
  As well as your eyes  As well as your eyes
      
  She tried to give a cry for help  She tried to give a cry for help
  She even blamed things on herself  She even blamed things on herself
  But no one came to her aid  But no one came to her aid
  Nothing was wrong as far  Nothing was wrong as far
  as we could tell  as we could tell
  That's what we'd like to tell ourselves  That's what we'd like to tell ourselves
  But no, it wasn't that way  But no, it wasn't that way
  So she fell in love  So she fell in love
  With the wrong kind of man  With the wrong kind of man
  And she paid with her life  And she paid with her life
  For loving that man  For loving that man
  So we cannot ignore,  So we cannot ignore,
  We must look for the signs  We must look for the signs
  And maybe next time we might save  And maybe next time we might save
  somebody's life  somebody's life
      
  How come, how long  How come, how long
  It's not right, it's so wrong  It's not right, it's so wrong
  Do we let it just go on  Do we let it just go on
  Turn our backs and carry on  Turn our backs and carry on
  Wake up, for it's too late  Wake up, for it's too late
  Right now, we can't wait  Right now, we can't wait
  She won't have a second try  She won't have a second try
  Open up your hearts  Open up your hearts
  As well as your eyes  As well as your eyes
      
2  And me: I on occasion met that guy             I on occasion met that guy 2
  It's been a feeling deep inside  It's been a feeling deep inside
3  Some abundant wasn't right   Some ... wasn't right 3
  The way he proves himself a man  The way he proves himself a man
  By beating his woman with his hands  By beating his woman with his hands
  Oh I wish that she'd seen the light  Oh I wish that she'd seen the light
4  How can someone like that call   How can someone like that       4
5        himself a man (a man)   call himself a man           5
6  It's in reality he is far more less then   He's not a man                            6
1  Soon reality ...1
  And we cannot ignore  And we cannot ignore
7  Whenever we've seen the signs   Whenever we see the signs 7
  'Cause any kind of abuse  'Cause any kind of abuse
  God knows, it's a crime  God knows, it's a crime
      
  How come, how long  How come, how long
  It's not right, it's so wrong  It's not right, it's so wrong
  Do we let it just go on  Do we let it just go on
  Turn our backs and carry on  Turn our backs and carry on
  Wake up, for it's too late  Wake up, for it's too late
  Right now, we can't wait  Right now, we can't wait
  She won't have a second try  She won't have a second try
  Open up your hearts  Open up your hearts
  As well as your eyes  As well as your eyes
