The Recipe

[Verse 1]

I better fall back, I don't mean to mislead her

But if she believe every word that I said

I take it all back, she playin' follow the leader

But that doesn't mean that I ain't gotta leave here, I wonder

She say she could give me what I need

I should make her more than company

I swear she got that fire (Fire)

But does it compare to Cali? No

[Pre-Chorus]

She's so happy when she's next to me

Thought she had me, baby, really thought she had me

Now she's fiendin' for the rest of me

But that isn't in the recipe

[Chorus]

Let it go, let it go

Girl, this ain't what you want and you know

We could never be

I don't care how it feels

This could never be real and you know

That isn't in the recipe

Let it go, let it go

Girl, this ain't what you want and you know

We could never be

I don't care how it feels

This could never be real and you know

[Verse 2]

We hit a rhythm, no control of emotion

The more time we spend playin' house with no rent

The more you hated your real one, speak of devotion

Told 'em to leave and came lookin' for me

I wonder, di-did I stutter when I told her ass

"None of this was ever meant to last"?

When I'm in it, it's that fire

But does it compare to Cali? No

[Pre-Chorus]

She's so happy when she's next to me

Thought she had me, baby, really thought she had me

Now she's fiendin' for the rest of me

But that isn't in the recipe

[Chorus]

Let it go, let it go

Girl, this ain't what you want and you know

We could never be

I don't care how it feels

This could never be real and you know

That isn't in the recipe

Let it go, let it go

Girl, this ain't what you want and you know

We could never be

I don't care how it feels

This could never be real and you know

[Outro]

Oh, let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go, let it

Let it go, let it go, let it go, let it

Let it go, let it go, oh-ohh
