🎤 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
