Shawn Mendes & Constance Wu - Rip Up The Recipe

[Shawn Mendes]

When you're cookin' something 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 something strange and new

If it's not what you have prepared
In the scramble you can't get scared
Let something 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

Doo-doo-doo
Do-do-do-do-do-do-do
Doo-doo-doo-doo
Do-do-do-do-do-do-do
Doo-doo-doo-doo
Do-do-do-do-do-do-do
Doo-doo-doo-doo
Do-do-do-do-do-do


[Constance Wu]

Livin' life inside the lines
Safe and simple by the book
You keep sweepin' the uncertainty aside
But an unfamiliar spice
Might bring something extra nice
Something twice as good as what you woulda tried


[Shawn Mendes & Constance Wu]

'Cause when the sugar hits the fan
You make a mess of your perfect plan
And you're facin' the face of something strange and new
Something's ready to wreck your day
You can pray that it goes away
Or let something 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

Doo-doo-doo
Do-do-do-do-do-do-do
Doo-doo-doo-doo
Do-do-do-do-do-do-do
Doo-doo-doo-doo
Do-do-do-do-do-do-do
Doo-doo-doo-doo
Do-do-do-do-do-do
