Hey life look at me, I can see the reality
Cause when you shook me, took me out of my world
I woke up, suddenly I just woke up to the happening.
–The Happening, Diana Ross & The Supremes

Today’s youtube is the 1967 song “The Happening” by The Supremes. This pop hit was also the theme from a movie of the same name.

Here is just the instrumental and backup singers so you can sing the lead yourself:

The Supremes: THE HAPPENING

Hey life look at me, I can see the reality
Cause when you shook me, took me out of 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, then 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 that precious love you need to guide you
Something happens inside you, the happening

Now I see life for what it is
It’s not all dreams, it’s not all bliss
It happened to me and it can happen to you

Once, and then it happened
Ooo, and then it happened
Ooo, and then it happened
Ooo, 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 I start hurting

I saw the light, too late, when that fickle finger of fate
Yeah came and broke my pretty balloon
I woke up, suddenly I just woke up to the happening

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
