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 goin' 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 doin'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
He says whatever happens, don't let go of my hand
Whatever happens, don't you let go of my hand
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
He tries to explain, "It's you that makes me happy"
Whatever, whatever, whatever...
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
See, don't you do it baby
I say yeah
Don't you let go baby
See you, don't you do it
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
I say yeah
Can I get a witness, baby
Don't you let go baby
Yeah
Oh...
Whatever happens, just don't let go of my hand
