Yeah, I'm riding high on top of the world
Something happens inside you, the happening
I saw my dreams fall apart when love walked away from my heart
For certain, suddenly I started hurting
It's not all dreams, ooh it's not all bliss
One day you're up, then you turn around
It happened, suddenly it just happened
Ooh, and then it happened
Ooh, and then it happened
Yeah came and broke my pretty balloon
You don't take care of then you better beware of the happening
I was sure, I felt secure, until love took a detour
It happened to me and it can happen to you once
I woke up, suddenly I just woke up, to the happening
So sure, I felt secure, until love took a detour
You find your world is tumbling down
It happened to me and it can happen to you
Is it real, is it fake, is this game of life a mistake
'Cause when you got a tender love
I woke up, suddenly I just walked up to the happening
And when you lose that precious love you need to guide you
Ooh, and then it happened
'Cause when you got a tender love
'Cause when I lost the love I thought was mine
Ooh, and then it happened
I saw the light too late, when that fickle finger of fate
Now I see life for what it is
When you find that you left the future behind
