My Recipe for Love (Radio Edit)

Sittin' all along, killin' time at a corner booth Just starin' at a menu, feelin' down at this table or two
A pretty blonde waitress says, tell me when you're done I says, I ain't hungry, all I'm lookin' for is fun She says, hold on boy, I think I've got a dish for you

You take two lonely hearts Add a little wine
Mix it with a slow dance
Be sure to keep your time
Stir in a sweet nothing Cover with a kiss
Follow these directions and You're never gonna miss Bring it to a boil just like My mama's oven
This dish will serve two, it's my recipe for lovin

Well, I downed my last cup and stood up to pay at the till Scratched my phone number down on the back of a crumpled-up bill She took one look at my writing and stared and stared in disbelief She said, you better listen when I tell you what I need I turned towards the door, her words still ringin' in my ears

You take two lonely hearts Add a little wine
Mix it with a slow dance
Be sure to keep your time Stir in a sweet nothing cover with a kiss
Follow these directions and You're never gonna miss Bring it to a boil just like my mama's oven This dish will serve two, it's my recipe for lovin

Sometimes the world works a crazy way
Now I eat her cooking about three times a day
But I still thank the Lord for the meal from above Add a little to all the recipes for love
You take two lonely hearts Add a little wine
Mix it with a slow dance
Be sure to keep your time Stir in a sweet nothing Cover with a kiss
Follow these directions and You're never gonna miss Bring it to a boil just like my mama's oven
This dish will serve two, it's my recipe for lovin
This dish will serve two, it's my recipe for lovin
