The Recipe
Devon Gilfillian Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

La-la-la, la la la
La-la-la, la la la
La-la-la, la la la

A cup of conversation
Teaspoon of temptation
Use your imagination and stir
Heatin′ up the oven
Whippin' up some lovin′
A little somethin', somethin'
Ooh-ooh

Let′s make this kitchen late night television
No inhibitions tonight

′Cause I'm all about you, you, you, you
And you′re all about me, me, me, me
I'll be your sugar sweet, you′re my dopamine
And I'm all about you, you, you and me
Yeah that′s the recipe
Oh, that's the recipe

Instant infatuation
A shot of celebration
Just light a libation or two

Do you like a little spice?
I'll be naughty if you′re nice
If you wanna do it twice, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

Let′s make this kitchen late night television
I want all the visits tonight

'Cause I′m all about you, you, you, you
And you're all about me, me, me, me
I′ll be your sugar sweet, you're my dopamine
And I′m all about you, you, you and me
Yeah that's the recipe
Oh, that's the recipe, yeah my baby

Come on baby you look better
Just a taste come on
I see you stand in a while I see you, uh, damn
That taste good

′Cause I′m all about you, you, you, you
And you're all about me, me, me, me
I′ll be your sugar sweet, you're my dopamine
′Cause I'm all about you, you, you and me
Our master recipe
Yeah, yeah, oh
Come on baby




Little bit of you, little bit of me
Oh yeah, baby, baby is all we need
