Whatever Happens
Nicotine Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Even though you are a manic depressive
Even if you are a serious epileptic
Granted that you are a hemophiliac
I'm never going to forsake you no never
No matter what you do no matter what you say
I'll never let you go
Yes, I love you cause I need you like you need me
I swear by God I'll never give you away
Whatever happens to you
So let me see your smile and wipe your tears away
Even though you are a horrible autistic
Even if you are a serious leukemiac
Granted that you are a hypochondriac
I'm never going to give you up no never
I'll never be upset I'll never be upset
Whatever happens to you
So set you mind at ease and go to sleep alright
Even though you are a paranoiac
Even if you are a serious diabetic
Granted you are a psychosomatic
I'm never going to shun you no never
I'll never let you go I'll never let you go




Whatever happens to you
So take me to your place and stay with me tonight
