How Come - D12

Possession, You couldn' t get away Perfection, to eliminate my day I am completely left battered in blue Money, and all the pleasures you can get Honey, to smooth away the pain You got me turning all grey over you How Come, How Long Connection, it's all I need to realise Perfection, a lesser goal would be sufise To stir my listless appetite Confussion, I am prisoned by your spell Delusion, and all the secrets I can tell You know how badly I need to take a bite How Come, You swiftly pass me by How Long, before I even have a try How Come, you make me feel tied down How Come, it never goes through your head How Long, before you miss what you never had How Come, you keep me spinning round and round and round How Come, You're too blind to see How Long, will you keep avoiding me How Come, I'm on the bottom of your list How Come, you don't think I'm worth it How Long, before you give me credit How Come, you treat me as if I do not exist.

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 Had so much to live for But she fell in love With the wrong kinda 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 kinda 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 I on occasion met that guy It's been a feeling deep inside Something about him wasn't right The way he proves himself a man By beatin' his woman with his hands Oh I wish she'd seen the light (Hey) How can someone like that Call himself a man (He's not a man) Coz In reality he's far more less than that And we cannot ignore Whenever we see the signs 'Cause any kinda of abuse God knows it's a crime How come (how come...), how long (how long...) It's not right (it's not right...), it's so wrong (so wrong...) Do we let it just go on (just go...) Turn our backs and carry on Wake up (wake up...), for it's too late (too late...) Right now (now...), we can't wait (we can't wait...) She won't have a second try Open up your hearts As well as your eyes...
