Whatever Happens Lyrics
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 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: x2]
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: x3]
Whatever happens, don't you let go of my hand
[Chorus: x2]
Whatever happens, don't you let go of my hand
Whatever happens, don't let go of my hand
Thank you, man!
Thank you, Carlos!
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
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
Don't let go of my hand
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

HAVE YOU EVER FELT THAT YOU HAVE TO DO SOOOO MUCH TO MAKE THE OTHER PERSON HAPPY, THAT YOU MUST SOLVE ALL THEIR PROBLEMS. hOWEVER YOU only realize when it is too late that sometimes there are things that you can not have absolute control over, things that you can try to make better, but you don't have to take care of the world. Sometimes just RELAX and learn that being with one another is what can make the other person happy. SOmetimes we search too hard and make thing too tough.
you left out "she can't stay in the room" in the 1st verse, man. THATS MY FAVRIT VERSE AND YOU FORGOT ONE OF THE BEST PARTS:(
One of the best songs on his invincible Album a duet with Carlson santana
Michael Rocks
I think the song is about a guy and a girl who are going thru troubled times and are thinking about splitting up, but in the end dont.
Another great dramatic song from mj!
I love this song. It is definitely my favorite song on Invincible. The instrumentation and Carlos Santana adds a nice touch to it as well.
Good song. It seems to be about and man and woman who are having an affair, inpaticularly in the 1st verse. But as sson as I heard the opening and his first 2-3 words this song had me. Go Mikey RIP
This song is awesome. I think it's like a scene from a movie.
One of my fave MJ songs, ever!
This is the best song from the Invincible album. This and the song "speechless". I can't describe this song more than just saying : What an absolutely fantastic piece of music!
