When can my heart beat again
When does the pain ever end
When do the tears stop from running over
When does you'll get over it begin

I hear what you're sayin'
But I swear that it's not making sense
So when can I see you

When can I see you again
When can my heart beat again
When can I see you again
And when can I breathe once again
And when can I see you again

When does my someday begin
When I'll find someone again
And what if I still am not truly over
What am I supposed to do then

Please hear what I'm sayin'
Even if, if it's not making sense
So when can I see you

[HOOK]

Please hear what I'm sayin'
Even if, if it's not making sense
So when can I see you

[HOOK 2 times]

Ooh oh oh yeah, oh yeah
Oh oh

[Babyface]
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 kind of man
He abused her love 
And treated her so bad
There was not enough education in her world 
That could save life of this little girl

1 - [Babyface and Stevie]
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

[Stevie]
She tried to give a cry for help 
She even blamed things on herself
But no one came to her aid
Nothing was wrong, 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

Repeat 1

[Babyface]
Oh, oh, yeah yeah
I hold the key and won't back down
Extend a feeling deep inside
Something about it wasn't right

[Stevie]
Oh oh, the way he proves himself a man
By beating his woman with his hands
I wish that she'd still alive

[Babyface] (Stevie)
How can someone like this call themself a man?
(He's not a man)
'Cause in reality, he's far more less than

[Stevie]
And we cannot ignore
Whenever we see the signs
'Cause any kind of abuse
God knows, it's a crime

Repeat 1

[Babyface] (Stevie)
Do do do do oh (yeah, oh)
Do doo (na na na na na)
Do doo (na na na na na)
Do doo

[Stevie]
Oh oh oh ohh

I've seen fire and I've seen rain
Seen sunny days that I thought would never end
Seen lonely times when I could not find a friend
Oh, But I always thought that I'd see you again

Won't you look down on me, Jesus
You've got to help me make a stand
Just got to see me through another day
My body's aching and my time is at hand
I won't make it any other way

Oh, oh, I've seen fire and I've seen rain
I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end
Seen lonely times when I could not find a friend
But I always thought that I'd see you again

I've been walking my mind to an easy time
Back turned towards the sun
Lord knows when the cold wind blows turns you head around
Spend hours of time on the telephone line talking about things to come
But all dreams and flying machine fell to pieces on the ground

Oh, I've seen fire and I've seen rain
Seen sunny days that I thought would never end
Seen lonely times when I could not find a friend
But I always thought that I'd see you, again

I pretend that I'm glad you went away
These four walls close in more everyday
And I'm dying inside
And nobody knows it but me

Like a clown I put on a show
The pain is real even if nobody knows
Now I'm cryin' inside
And nobody knows it but me

Why didn't I say
The things I needed to say
How could I let my angel get away
Now my world is just a-tumblin' down
I can see it so clearly
But you're nowhere around

The nights are lonely
The days are so sad
And I just keep thinkin' about
The love that we had
And I'm missin' you
And nobody knows it but me

I carry a smile when I'm broken in two
Now I'm nobody without someone like you
I'm tremblin' inside, and nobody knows it but me
I lie awake, its a quarter past three
I'm screamin' at night
As if I thought you'd hear me
Yeah my heart is callin' you
And nobody knows it but me

How blue can I get
You could ask my heart
But like a jigsaw puzzle its been torn all apart
A million words couldn't say just how I feel
A million years from now you know I'll be lovin' you still

The nights are lonely [nights are lonely]
The days are so sad [oh so sad]
And I just keep thinkin' about
The love that we had
And I'm missin' you
And nobody knows it but me

Tomorrow morning I'll hit the dusty road
Gonna find you wherever, ever you might go
I'm gonna unload my heart
And hope you come back to me

[Said when the nights are lonely...]
The nights are lonely
[since you've been gone away]
The days are so sad
[and I've been missing you baby]
And I just keep thinkin' about
The love that we had
[I always thought you'd be right by my side]
And I'm missin' you
[yeah]
And nobody knows it but me
[Nobody knows it. No. Nobody but me.]

The nights are lonely
The days are so sad
And I just keep thinkin' about
The love that we had
And I'm missin' you
And nobody knows it but me

Girl, it's been a long, long time comin'
But I, I know that it's been worth the wait
It feels like springtime in winter
It feels like Christmas in June
It feels like heaven has opened up
its gates for me and you

1-And every time I close my eyes
I thank the Lord that I've got you
And you've got me too
And every time I think of it
I pinch myself 'cause I don't believe it's true
That someone like you loves me too, yeah

Girl, I think that you're truly somethin'
Yes, you are, and you're every bit of a dream come true
With you baby, it never rains and it's no wonder
The sun always shines when I'm near you
It's just a blessing that I have found somebody like you
(repeat 1)

To think of all the nights I've cried myself to sleep
You really oughta know how much you mean to me
It's only right that you be in my life
Right here with me, oh baby, baby
