The Happening - Lyrics by Supremes


Lyrics
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 (one day, you're up)
When you turn around (when you turn around)
You find your world (you find your world)
Is crumbling down (is crumbling 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 (now, I see life)
For what it is (for what it is)
It's not a dream (it's not a dream)
It's not a bliss (it's not a bliss)
It happened to me, and it can happen to you

And then it happened
Ooh, and then it happened
Ooh, and then it happened
Ooh, 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 start 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
(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
(fade out)
