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
See, 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 not get up in this, baby
Don't you let go, baby, yeah
Whatever happens, just don't let go of my hand
Thank you, man
Thank you, Carlos
