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
