Lyrics:
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 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

[@klmkerri]

This song actually saved my life. Was in a very bad situation, with kids, and after listening to this song so many times (due to the similarities it had with my life) I actually decided to leave because I didn't want end up dead, I wanted a 2nd try at having a life. So thank you both, for saving my life, and in turn, my kids lives. Will always appreciate and admire you for this xxxx

Back in 1997 I was just a schoolboy, and CDs were expensive, so if I bought it, it meant I really LOVED the song. Yes, I bought this in 1997. The chorus, with that keychange, is just beautiful. Babyface is a good singer, but Stevie Wonder is an INCREDIBLE singer, and I remember hearing Babyface say on the radio that he considered Stevie Wonder the greatest singer of all time for him. The harmonics in Stevie's voice are incredible, and his range as well. In 2008 he came to Australia and on the day of his concert I bought a ticket and went. Totally spur of the moment. Great show. So glad I got to see a legend like him in my lifetime.

[@scarletvette3296]

Listening to this now, I wish I was older when my mother went through the abuse. But I was just a teen. It took me to reach the age of 17 to stand up to him for my mother. I'm now 40 and she's long divorced him. And she's such a happy person.

[@lemurlover7975]

awesome :) I'm a human trafficking survivor who listened to this song and sang it loudly to tell teachers in my school that I'm getting raped by tons of pedophiles. they just ignored me and said "not my problem" but I felt like at least Babyface cared about me enough to write a song like this so once I'm dead from murder I will get to hang out with Babyface and his friend in heaven (because most rapists also tried to kill me with knives but failed). Anyway this song gave me hope. And then I escaped. I was recaptured and my family who had been trafficking me set up a hidden video camera somewhere in the room and in the bathroom which they told me about but I couldn't find, where I was being held captive to make videos of people raping me and to convince themselves I consent. But I never consented and I played this song on my computer at maximum volume along with other songs about abuse, rape, death, survival and slavery and sang them at the top of my lungs as well...along with some very screechy high opera stuff by Vitas that was intended to hurt their ears...until they couldn't stand it anymore and they set me free. my stepdad was like I watched 60 hours of footage and you never had any sex and all you did was sing about death. I was like no I sang about abuse and slavery and about you giving me my freedom. when will you set me free? Then eventually he was fed up and he set me free. So now I'm listening as a celebration of escaping all that torture. It is a great song :) It makes the most hardened and deranged psychopaths like my stepdad who is a Satanic-worshipping cannibalistic rapist to feel guilty and want to let you go. :) Yay Babyface and Stevie Wonder. :) Thank you :) :) I actually sang most of the songs well, with the right notes, as I have been in choir most of my life, but I was trying to be particularly obnoxious and bad when singing Vitas' Opera No. 2. LOL. And this is how a choir girl fights for her life ;-)

He didn't sound bad either. lol. He was very serious and rather emotional. After he sang, my husband, sons and I had a great conversation about abuse and violence.

[@thelastdiva6697]

In 5 minutes this video/song completely sums up the anguish and pain experienced by anyone in an abusive relationship...wife/husband /child. And also of the helplessness of those around that desperately want to act/speak out or do something....yet end up feeling its better to just keep quiet. Please don't, the damage, especially to children NEVER goes away. Like others on here, I had an abusive violent father...the scenes with the child at the dinner table and the mum preparing to run and getting caught brings back so many memories and tears YEARS after they happened. BUT this music connects and heals...we seriously need to get back to producing work like this. The world needs it.

[@angelacooper8973]

Trust its best not to get involved. You can be injured or even killed. Some women/men will turn on YOU to protect their abusers. So its best to pray they find their way out and they survive the abuse.

[@leenamasha5623]

This song never leaves me. Everytime someone says two people are ina domestic violence situation, another is quick to say, stay out of it; that is their business. But I think that's wrong. Victims are weak and yes they may go back but it's never willingly, it's because they are often brainwashed into thinking they are nobodies by the perpetrators or they are too psychologically weakened to stand on their own. They truly need you to speak out. This song to me is the most beautiful song Stevie and Babyface made. I love it, the vocals are beautiful and the message forever powerful - dont turn your back, you truly might save somebody's life. Prayers to all in this situation. Forever a classic. When music was truly music.

[@michellematarazzo2392]

God damn...so manny bad and so good memories this song bring to me..

Timeless Hit, Classic Duet!

This is chilling every time. Some things... we have to consider our business. When the young lady stop the man from knocking on the door just hurts because it happens all the time. If you don't feel comfortable stepping in/ speaking up then call the police! ESPECIALLY if there is a child involved! Florida has some of the highest numbers of children who have died because there was no real follow through in the home where there was domestic abuse between the adults. Let's Love one another enough to make a move.

The feelings evoked in this song are just too powerful too resist....Stevie Wonder and Babyface truly brought out the desired feelings.....Kudos!

[@lab4389]

When this song came out I wondered if it was written about Nichole Simpson. I read (recently) that it was indeed was based on that horrific murder. Very sad- but the lyrics of this song are so very important re domestic violence. Powerful song. Thank you Baby Face and Stevie for this song.

[@mariemoenne-loccoz9556]

My English was not that good in 1996. I only now understand the lyrics. This song was already powerful, now it's becoming more than this to my eyes. That's a great great job 👌👍

[@nanihanani8769]

I am Asian and I love this song so much... So meaningful... Just speechless...

[@zullkarnaenzullkarnaenismail]

It's been awhile since I've even heard from you, my dear friend...

[@freespiritable]

This song is a gem.

[@serenazhou3497]

Listened to this song when I first started to understand lyrics in English songs, I was deeply moved by its music, message and how the story was told through video clip. It's one of the most memorable songs to me during the 90s.
