The Supremes - The Happening lyrics

Hey life look at me, I can see the reality

Cause when you shook me, took me out of 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, then 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 that precious love you need to guide you

Something happens inside you, the happening.

Now I see life for what it is

It-s not all dreams, it-s not all bliss

It happened to me and it can happen to you

Once!

Ooo, and then it happened

Ooo, and then it happened

Ooo, and then it happened

Ooo, 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 I started hurting.

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

Yeah came and broke my pretty balloon

I woke up, suddenly I just woke up to the happening.

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.
