THE RECIPE
[man]
It was four in the mornin', when I stumbled in
Expecting to find her cryin' again
[woman] Instead, in the kitchen, he read my good-bye
In a
letter I taped to the recipe file
[together]
Warm up a jukebox with an old ocuntry song
Mix in your cheatin', and stay out till dawn
Add just a teaspoon of teardrops I've cried
Cover with excuses and weak alibis
When you've had a taste, I think you'll agree
There's nothing so bitter as a fool's recipe
[man]
There was no light from the doorway at the end of the hall
And
our picture was missing from it's place on the wall
[woman] I left it torn up on our bedroom floor
I
just can't see us together no more
[together]
Warm up a jukebox with an old ocuntry song
Mix in your cheatin', and stay out till dawn
Add just a teaspoon of teardrops I've cried
Cover with excuses and weak alibis
When you've had a taste, I think you'll agree
There's nothing so bitter as a fool's recipe
When you've had a taste, I think you'll agree
There's nothing so bitter as a fool's recipe
