Hey, life, look at me
I can see the reality Beware of The Happening!
'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
Beware of The Happening!
'Cause when you got a tender love you don't
Take care of
Then you better beware of
The Happening
Woah!

One day you're up (One day you're up)
Then you turn around (When you turn around)
You find your world (You find your world)
Is tumbling down (Is comin' down)
It happened to me with Elliott and Kurt
and it can happen to you

I was sure, I felt secure
Until love took a detour (Beware of The Happening!)
Yeah! I'm riding high on top of the world
It happened
Suddenly it just happened
The Happening!

But I saw my dreams (Oo oo) torn apart (Oo oo)
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!
OOh!

Now I see life (Now I see life)
For what it is (For what it is)
It's not of dreams (It's not of dreams)
It's not of bliss (It's not of bliss)
It happened to me and it can happen to you

And then it happened (And then it happened)
Oo, and then it happened (Oh, it happened!)
Oo, (Uh!) and then it happened (And then it happened)
Oo, and then it happened (And then it happened!)

Is it real? Is it fake?
Is this game of life a mistake? (Beware of The Happening!)
'Cause when I lost the love I thought was mine
For certain
Suddenly I start hurtin'
The Happening!

I saw the light, too late
When that fickle finger of fate (Beware of The Happening!)
Yeah! It came and broke my pretty balloon
I woke up
Suddenly I just woke up
The Happening!

So sure, I felt secure
Until love took a detour (Beware of The Happening!)
'Cause when you got a tender love you don't
Take care of
Then you better beware of
The Happening
Woah oh!
