we can't be friends (wait for your love)
Ariana Grande · 2024
🎤 Sing along
Sing with the chorus
- i'll wait for your love
- my love, i'll wait for your love
- know that you made me
- i don't like how you paint me, yet i'm still here hanging
Echo the hook
- my love, i'll wait for your love
- me and my truth, we sit in silence
- mmm, baby girl, it's just me and you
- 'cause i don't wanna argue, but i don't wanna bite
