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 a dream

Ooh, it's not all bliss

it happened to me

and it can happen to us

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 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
