The Recipe
Sir Lyrics

I better fall back, I don't mean to mislead her
I need to distance myself because I don't want to mislead her.

But if she believe every word that I said
I take back everything I said if she believed it all.

I take it all back, she playin' follow the leader
I take back everything because she's just blindly following me.

But that doesn't mean that I ain't gotta leave her, I wonder
Just because she's following me, it doesn't mean I shouldn't leave her. I'm wondering if I should.

She say she could give me what I need (what I need)
She claims she can provide me with what I want.

I should make her more than company
I should consider a deeper relationship with her.

I swear she got that fire (fire)
I believe she has intense passion or energy.

But does it compare to Cali? No
But it doesn't compare to the lifestyle and energy of California.

She's so happy when she's next to me (next to me)
She finds joy being near me.

Thought she had me, baby really thought she had me
She believed she had me fully committed to her.

Now she's fiendin' for the rest of me (rest of me)
Now she desires to have all of me.

But that isn't in the recipe
But that is not what I'm looking for in a relationship.

Let it go, let it go, girl
She needs to let go of the idea of us being together.

This ain't what you want and you know
This relationship is not what she truly desires and she knows it.

We could never be
We can never be in a real relationship.

I don't care how it feels
I am not invested in how she feels about me.

This could never be real and you know
Our relationship will never be genuine or authentic and she is aware of that.

We hit a rhythm, no control of emotion
We got into a groove but it was solely based on emotion with no real control or stability.

The more time we spend playin' house with no rent
The more we spent time imitating a romantic partnership without any true commitment.

The more you hated your real one, speak of devotion
The more she resented her actual partner and pretended to be devoted to me.

Told hold him to leave and came lookin' for me
She asked her partner to leave her so she could pursue me.

I wonder, di-did I stutter when I told her ass (told her ass)
I am questioning whether she truly understood me when I told her I didn't want a relationship.

None of this was ever meant to last?
I never intended for our relationship to turn into anything serious.

When I'm in it, it's that fire (fire)
My passion is strong when I'm with her.

But does it compare to Cali? No
But it still doesn't compare to the energy of California.

Let it go, let it go, girl
She needs to let go of the idea of us being together.

This ain't what you want and you know
This relationship is not what she truly desires and she knows it.

Oh, we could never be
We can never be in a real relationship.

This ain't the recipe, oh
Our relationship is not the formula or recipe for real love.

Let it go, let it go, girl
She needs to let go of the idea of us being together.

We could never be
We can never be in a real relationship.

I don't care how it feels
I am not invested in how she feels about me.

This could never be real and you know
Our relationship will never be genuine or authentic and she is aware of that.

Oh, let it go, let it go
She should release her desire for our relationship.

Let it go, let it go
She should let go of the idea of us being together.

Let it, let it go
She should release her desire for our relationship.

Let it go, let it go, let it
She should let go of the idea of us being together.

Let it go, let it go, ohh
She should release her desire for our relationship.
