Whatever Happens

[Verse 1: Michael Jackson] 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: Michael Jackson] "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: Michael Jackson] 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 [Guitar Solo] Don't let go of my hand Don't let go of my hand [Verse 3: Michael Jackson] 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: Michael Jackson] 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 go of my hand See whatever happens, don't you 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 you let go of my hand Whatever happens, just don't let go of my hand [Outro: Carlos Santana & Michael Jackson] Thank you, man Thank you, Carlos
