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.
