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
