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
