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
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
the happening
