Lyrics
He gives another 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"
"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
Whatever happens
Don't let go of my hand" (don't let go of my hand)
He says, "Whatever happens
Don't let go of my hand (don't let go of my hand)
Whatever happens
Don't you let go of my hand"
(Don't let go of my hand) doo-doo-doo-doo
(Doo-doo-doo-doo) yeah (doo-doo-doo-doo)
(Don't let go of my hand) oh, no
(Doo-doo-doo-doo)
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
Whatever happens
Don't let go of my hand (don't let go of my hand)
See, whatever happens
Don't you let go of my hand (don't let go of my hand)
See, whatever happens
Don't let go of my hand (don't let go of my hand)
See, whatever happens
Don't you let go of my hand
See, don't you do it, baby (don't let go of my hand)
I say, yeah
(Don't let go of my hand) don't you let go, baby
See, no baby, yeah
See, you
(Don't let go of my hand) don't you do it
Whatever happens (sha-na-na-na, ooh, sha-na-na-na)
Don't let go of my hand (sha-na-na-na, ooh, sha-na-na-na)
Whatever happens (sha-na-na-na, ooh, sha-na-na-na)
Don't you let go of my hand (sha-na-na-na, ooh, sha-na-na-na)
Whatever happens (sha-na-na-na, ooh, sha-na-na-na)
Don't you let go of my hand (sha-na-na-na, ooh, sha-na-na-na)
Don't you let go, baby (sha-na-na-na, ooh, sha-na-na-na)
Don't you, don't you let go (sha-na-na-na, ooh, sha-na-na-na)
I say, yeah (sha-na-na-na, ooh, sha-na-na-na)
Can I get a big kiss, baby? (Sha-na-na-na, ooh, sha-na-na-na)
Don't you let go, baby (sha-na-na-na, ooh, sha-na-na-na)
Yeah (sha-na-na-na) oh (sha-na-na-na)
Whatever happens (doo)
Just don't let go of my hand (doo)
Thank you, man
Thank you, Carlos
