Lyrics

[Verse 1]

He gives a nervous smile

Tries to understand her side

To show that he cares

She can't stay in the room

She's consumed

With everything that's been going on

She says, "Whatever happens

Don't let go of my hand"

[Verse 2]

"Everything will be alright"

He assures her

But she doesn't hear a word that he says

Preoccupied

She's afraid

Afraid what they've been doing's not right

He doesn't know what to say

So he prays

Whatever, whatever, whatever

[Chorus]

Whatever happens

Don't let go of my hand

He says, "Whatever happens

Don't let go of my hand"

Whatever happens

Don't you let go of my hand

[Refrain]

Don't let go of my hand

Don't let go of my hand

[Verse 3]

He's working day and night

Thinks he'll make her happy

Forgetting all the dreams that he had

He doesn't realize

It's not the end of the world

It doesn't have to be that bad

She tries to explain

"It's you that makes me happy"

Whatever, whatever, whatever

[Chorus]

Whatever happens

Don't let go of my hand

See, whatever happens

Don't you let go of my hand

See, whatever happens

Don't let go of my hands

See, whatever happens

Don't you let go of my hand

[Refrain]

See, don't you do it, baby (Don't let go of my hand)

I say, yeah, don't you let go, baby (Don't let go of my hand)

See you, don't you do it (Don't let go of my hand)

[Chorus]

Whatever happens (Don't let go of my hand)

Whatever happens (Don't you let go of my hand)

Whatever happens (Don't you let go of my hand)

Don't you let go, baby, don't you, don't you let go

[Outro]

I say, yeah, can I get a witness, baby?

Don't you let go, baby, yeah

Whatever happens, just don't let go of my hand

Thank you, man

Thank you, Carlos
