Happening - Diana Ross & The Supremes

The Happening
The Supremes
(Brian Holland/Lamont Dozier/Edward Holland Jr./Frank DeVol)

    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 find a tender love
    You don't need to 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 the 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 a dream
    It's not a bliss
    It happened to me and it can happen to you
    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 starts hurting
    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
