Текст песни Recipe - Angie Stone

From the pages of my cookbook
Serving soul food from my cookbook (Ooh, oh)
Like food for your soul
The recipe for a happy life
Taking everything a day at a time (Time)
Water your big dreams and starve your distractions
Pray everyday (Hey) and back that with the actions
The recipe for a greater love
No, when you can't get everything that you want
Love who you love and season it with understanding
Say what you need, don't be so damn demanding
(Stop and smell the rose)
And when you pose for the picture, smile
Don't be in a rush, sit and stay a while
Make sure to laugh like you were a child
If it's easy, chances are that it won't be amazing
(Drive through, quick slide) Come through
(Can't get full off that) Ooh
Roll your sleeves up
Mix up just what you need and what you're craving
Don't rush, don't cheat while cooking up the recipe
Recipe for a happy home
You gotta get them moments alone
Pack up them kids, take they bad asses to your mama
Go get a room or just, hey, play in the sauna
And if you don't feel sexy at your worst, yeah
Come up with some new shit, put your back into it, yeah
Girl, you can't be scared
Just got your weave did, better not whip your hair
Problems come as they often will
Oh, yes Lord, tell her, "Peace be still"
That's what my big mama told me
Right after she scolded me
If it's easy, chances are that it won't be amazing
(Drive through, quick slide) Drive on through
(Can't get full off that) Ooh
Roll your sleeves up
Mix up just what you need and what you're craving
Don't rush, don't cheat while cooking up the recipe (Recipe)
And you know you got something good going
If you feel good about it
You know you got something worth having
If you can't live without it
Appetite satisfied all day
Want the kind of love that's all good
Make you wanna clean the plate, oh
If it's easy, chances are that it won't be amazing
(Drive through, quick slide) Come through
(Can't get full off that) Ooh
Roll your sleeves up (Roll)
Mix up just what you need and what you're craving
Don't rush, don't cheat while cooking up the recipe
Yeah, oh
Come and get you some
