Lyrics The Happening - 1993 Remastered Version - Diana Ross , The Supremes

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 (one day you're up)
Then you turn around (then you turn around)
You find your world (you find your world)
Is tumbling down (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, ridin' 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 (now I see life)
For what it is (for what it is)
It's not all dreams (it's not all dreams)
It's not all bliss (it's not all bliss)
It happened to me and it can happen to you
(Once)
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 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
