Whatever Happens
Michael Jackson - Invincible

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

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

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

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!

[Michael Jackson:] Thank you, Carlos!
