Story Behind The Song

For myself, I guess I've never been able to put the ingredients together in the right order, yet (in case you were wondering).

Song Description

A downtrodden single man listens to the advice of his waitress and is rewarded in the most delicious way.

Lyrics

My Recipe for Love

Sitting all alone killing time at a corner booth
Just staring at a menu feeling down at this table for two
A pretty blond waitress says tell me when you're done
I says I ain't hungry all I'm looking 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 alow dance be sure to keep your time
Stir in a sweet nothing cover with a kiss
Follow these directions and you're never going to miss
Bring it to a boil just like my Mama's oven
This dish will serve two it's my recipe for loving

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

You take two lonely hearts add a little wine
Mix it with a alow dance be sure to keep your time
Stir in a sweet nothing cover with a kiss
Follow these directions and you're never going to miss
Bring it to a boil just like my Mama's oven
This dish will serve two it's my recipe for loving

Sometimes the world works in crazy ways
Now I eat her cooking about three times a day
I still thank the Lord for the meal from above
And a little tune called the recipe for love

You take two lonely hearts add a little wine
Mix it with a alow dance be sure to keep your time
Stir in a sweet nothing cover with a kiss
Follow these directions and you're never going to miss
Bring it to a boil just like my Mama's oven
This dish will serve two it's my recipe for loving
