	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
2	But she fell in love with the wrong kind of man						But she fell in love	2

8	Turn our backs and carry on?						Turn our backs and carry on	8
	Wake up, for it's too late						Wake up, for it's too late

	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
9	Nothing was wrong, far as we could tell						Nothing was wrong      as far	9
10	That's what we'd like to tell our self						as we could tell	10
11	But no it wasn't that way						That's what we'd like to tell ourselves	11

21	Oh oh, the way he proves himself a man						I on occasion met that guy	21
11							It's been a feeling deep inside	11
12							Some ... wasn't right	12
13							The way he proves himself a man	13
	By beating his woman with his hands						By beating his woman with his hands
22	I wish that she'd see the light						Oh I wish that she'd seen the light	22
23							How can someone like that	23
24	[How can someone like this call themself a man?						call himself a man	24
25	(He's not a man)						He's not a man	25
26	'Cause in reality, he's far more less than						Soon reality ...	26
	And we cannot ignore						And we cannot ignore
	Whenever we see the signs						Whenever we see the signs
