WHATEVER HAPPENS (Michael Jackson, T.Riley, Gil Cang, J.Quay and Geoffrey Williams) 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 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 my happy," Whatever, whatever, whatever CHORUS CHORUS OUT Produced by Michael Jackson and Teddy Riley Lead Vocal by Michael Jackson Background Vocals by Michael Jackson Guitar by Carlos Santana Additional Background Vocals by Mario Vasquez and Mary Brown Orchestra Arranged and Conducted by Jeremy Lubbock Guitar by Rick Williams Whistle Solo: Carlos Santana and Stuart Brawley Recorded by Teddy Riley, George Mayers and Bruce Swedien at Future Recording Studios, Norfolk and The Hit Factory/Criteria, Miami Digital Editing by Teddy Riley and George Mayers Mixed by Bruce Swedien, Teddy Riley and George Mayers © 2001 Mijac Music (BMI).
