Shawn Mendes & Constance Wu - Rip Up The Recipe Lyrics

(from "Lyle, Lyle, Crocodile" soundtrack)

When you're cookin' somethin' up

And only tryin' the tried and true

You stick to the predictable you've known

Measure out the same amounts

Every teaspoon, every ounce

No surprises when the rules are set in stone

But when the sugar hits the fan

You make a mess of your perfect plan

And you're facin' the face of somethin' strange and new

If it's not what you had prepared

In the scramble, you can't get scared

Let somethin' wild and wonderful break through

Start rippin' up the recipe

Let go of how it has to be

You forget about right and wrong

When you lose yourself in the song

It's perfect unexpectedly

When you rip up the recipe

Doot-doo-doo

Doot-doot-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo

Doot-doo-doo-doo

Doot-doot-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo

Doot-doo-doo-doo

Doot-doot-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo

Doot-doo-doo-doo

Doot-doot-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo

Livin' life inside the lines safe and simple, by the book

You keep sweepin' the uncertainty aside

But an unfamiliar spice might bring somethin' extra nice

Somethin' twice as good as what you woulda tried

'Cause when the sugar hits the fan

You make a mess of your perfect plan

And you're facin' the face of somethin' strange and new

Somethin's ready to wreck your day

You can pray that it goes away

Or let somethin' wild and wonderful break through

Start rippin' up the recipe

Let go of how it has to be

No, you can't plan it in advance

Gotta lose yourself in the dance

It's perfect unexpectedly

When you rip up the recipe

Doot-doo-doo

Doot-doot-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo

Doot-doo-doo-doo

Doot-doot-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo

Doot-doo-doo-doo

Doot-doot-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo

Doot-doo-doo-doo

Doot-doot-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo

Start rippin' up the recipe

And make a little mess with me

You forget about right and wrong

When you lose yourself in the song

It's perfect unexpectedly

When you rip up the recipe

Doot-doo-doo

Doot-doot-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo

Doot-doo-doo-doo

Doot-doot-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo

Doot-doo-doo-doo

Doot-doot-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo

Doot-doo-doo-doo, doo

When you rip up the recipe
