Rip Up the Recipe

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Shawn Mendes] 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 [Pre-Chorus: Shawn Mendes] 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 breakthrough [Chorus: Shawn Mendes] 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 [Post-Chorus: Shawn Mendes] 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 [Verse 2: 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 somethin' extra nice Somethin' twice as good as what you woulda tried [Pre-Chorus: 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 somethin' strange and new Somethin's ready to wreck your day You can pray that it goes away Or let somethin' wild and wonderful breakthrough [Chorus: Shawn Mendes & Constance Wu] 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 [Post-Chorus: Shawn Mendes] 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 [Instrumental Brigde] [Chorus: Shawn Mendes & Constance Wu] 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 [Post-Chorus: Shawn Mendes & Constance Wu] 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 [Outro: Shawn Mendes & Constance Wu] When you rip up the recipe
