The Recipe
Sir Lyrics

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 (yeah)

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 hold him to leave and came lookin' for me
I wonder, di-did I stutter when I told her ass (told her ass)
None of this was ever meant to last?
When I'm in it, it's that fire (fire)
But does it compare to Cali? No

She's so happy when she's next to me (next to me)
Thought she had me, baby really thought she had me
Now she's fiendin' for the rest of me (rest of me)
But that isn't in the recipe

Let it go, let it go, girl
This ain't what you want and you know
Oh, we could never be
I don't care how it feels
This could never be real and you know
This ain't the recipe, oh
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

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, ohh

In "The Recipe", Sir reflects on a romantic encounter that is not meant to last. He confesses that he has misled the woman and that she has played follow the leader, but he must ultimately leave her because he knows that their relationship cannot compare to what he has with California. He acknowledges the temporary pleasure that he gets from being with her, but he knows that it is not sustainable. He questions whether he stuttered when he told her that none of this was meant to last and wonders about her true intentions when she left her previous partner to be with him.

The chorus encourages the woman to let go because their relationship can never be real. Despite her feelings and desires for him, it is not in the recipe for them to continue or build a long-lasting relationship. Sir acknowledges that it may not be what she wants or how it feels, but that they must let go and move on from each other.

The song touches on the fleeting nature of some romantic relationships and the importance of being honest with oneself and others about what one truly wants. Sir's lyrics show a level of self-awareness and accountability for his own role in their dynamic and suggest that both parties need to let go and move on in order to find what truly makes them happy.

I better fall back, I don't mean to mislead her
I need to distance myself because I don't want to mislead her.

But if she believe every word that I said
I take back everything I said if she believed it all.

I take it all back, she playin' follow the leader
I take back everything because she's just blindly following me.

But that doesn't mean that I ain't gotta leave her, I wonder
Just because she's following me, it doesn't mean I shouldn't leave her. I'm wondering if I should.

She say she could give me what I need (what I need)
She claims she can provide me with what I want.

I should make her more than company
I should consider a deeper relationship with her.

I swear she got that fire (fire)
I believe she has intense passion or energy.

But does it compare to Cali? No
But it doesn't compare to the lifestyle and energy of California.

She's so happy when she's next to me (next to me)
She finds joy being near me.

Thought she had me, baby really thought she had me
She believed she had me fully committed to her.

Now she's fiendin' for the rest of me (rest of me)
Now she desires to have all of me.

But that isn't in the recipe
But that is not what I'm looking for in a relationship.

Let it go, let it go, girl
She needs to let go of the idea of us being together.

This ain't what you want and you know
This relationship is not what she truly desires and she knows it.

We could never be
We can never be in a real relationship.

I don't care how it feels
I am not invested in how she feels about me.

This could never be real and you know
Our relationship will never be genuine or authentic and she is aware of that.

We hit a rhythm, no control of emotion
We got into a groove but it was solely based on emotion with no real control or stability.

The more time we spend playin' house with no rent
The more we spent time imitating a romantic partnership without any true commitment.

The more you hated your real one, speak of devotion
The more she resented her actual partner and pretended to be devoted to me.

Told hold him to leave and came lookin' for me
She asked her partner to leave her so she could pursue me.

I wonder, di-did I stutter when I told her ass (told her ass)
I am questioning whether she truly understood me when I told her I didn't want a relationship.

None of this was ever meant to last?
I never intended for our relationship to turn into anything serious.

When I'm in it, it's that fire (fire)
My passion is strong when I'm with her.

But does it compare to Cali? No
But it still doesn't compare to the energy of California.

Let it go, let it go, girl
She needs to let go of the idea of us being together.

This ain't what you want and you know
This relationship is not what she truly desires and she knows it.

Oh, we could never be
We can never be in a real relationship.

This ain't the recipe, oh
Our relationship is not the formula or recipe for real love.

Let it go, let it go, girl
She needs to let go of the idea of us being together.

We could never be
We can never be in a real relationship.

I don't care how it feels
I am not invested in how she feels about me.

This could never be real and you know
Our relationship will never be genuine or authentic and she is aware of that.

Oh, let it go, let it go
She should release her desire for our relationship.

Let it go, let it go
She should let go of the idea of us being together.

Let it, let it go
She should release her desire for our relationship.

Let it go, let it go, let it
She should let go of the idea of us being together.

Let it go, let it go, ohh
She should release her desire for our relationship.
