Verse
- KB Riff 2 plays over the verse but without the high slide notes (“/9” and “/11”)
Stop telling me what you want me to hear
Stop telling me what you want me to fear
Stop trippin on something you overheard
Love is winning without a word
Stop giving me your wishlist
Love is free from all this

Love is whatever, whatever you want it to be
