SONGS
This song was written by Babyface about the O.J.
Simpson trial.
HOW COME, HOW LONG
There was a girl I used to know
She was oh so beautiful
But she's not here anymore
She had a collage degree
Smart as anyone could be
She had so much to live for
But she fell in love
With the wrong kind of 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 noone 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 kind of 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
ANGEL STANDING BY
By Jewel
All through the night I'll be standing
over you
All through the night I'll be watching
over you
And through bad dreams I'll be right
there, baby
Holding your hand, telling you everything
is all right
And when you cry I'll be right there
Telling you you were never anything
less than beautiful
So don't you worry
I'm your angel standing by
Perfect
by Alanis Morissette
Sometimes is never quite enough
If you're flawless, then you'll win
my love
Don't forget to win the first place
Don't forget to keep that smile on
your face
Be a good boy
Try a little harder
You've got to measure up
And make me prouder
How long before you screw it up
How many times do I have to tell you
to hurry up
With everything I do for you
The least you can do is keep quiet
Be a good girl
You've got to try a little harder
That simply wasn't good enough
To make us proud
I'll live through you
I'll make you what I never was
If you're the best, then maybe so am
I
Compared to him compared to her
I'm doing this for your own damn good
You'll make up for what I blew
What's the problem...why are you crying
Be a good boy
Push a little farther now
That simply wasn't fast enough
To make us happy
We'll love you just the way you are
if you're perfect
I like this song because it makes you think that you
should never push someone because you want them to do something
you never got a round to do, and you don't want them to turn out
like yourself. I think that everyone will at one point make as
many mistakes as everyone else, no matter what anyone tells them.
