He gives another smile, tries to understand her side
To show that he cares
She`s consumed with everything that`s been goin` on
She says
[Chorus]
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 that what they`re doing is 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
Whatever happens, don`t let go of my hand
Whatever happens, don`t you let go of my hand
Don`t let go of my hand
Don`t 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
She tries to explain, "It`s you that makes me happy,"
Whatever, whatever, whatever
[Chorus]
Whatever happens, don`t let go of my hand
Whatever happens, don`t let go of my hand
Whatever happens, don`t let go of my hand
Whatever happens, don`t you let go of my hand
Whatever happens, don`t let go of my hand
Whatever happens, don`t let go of my hand
Whatever happens, don`t you let go of my hand
Whatever happens, don`t let go of my hand
[Carlos Santana:] Thank you, man!
