Hey! Life, look at me, I can see the reality

'Cause when you shook me, took me outta my world, I woke up

Suddenly I just woke up to the happening

When you find that you left the future behind

'Cause when you got a tender love you don't take care of

Then you better beware of The happening

One day you're up, when you turn around

You find your world is tumbling down

It happened to me and it can happen to you I was sure, I felt secure until love took a detour

Yeah! Riding high on top of the world, it happened

Suddenly it just happened

I saw my dreams torn apart

When love walked away from my heart

And when you lose a precious love you need to guide you

Something happens inside you The happening

Now I see life for what it is

It's not of dreams, it's not of bliss

It happened to me and it can happen to you

And then it happened

Oo, and then it happened

Oo, and then it happened

Oo, and then it happened Is it real? Is it fake?

Is this game of life a mistake?

'Cause when I lost the love I thought was mine for certain

Suddenly it starts hurtin'

I saw the light too late when that fickle finger of fate

Yeah! It came and broke my pretty balloon

I woke up, suddenly I just woke up, so sure

I felt secure until love took a detour

'Cause when you got a tender love you don't take care of

Then you better beware of

The happening
