Neil Diamond - Recipe For Happiness lyrics

For ev'ry guy who's got a girl

to aid him the social whirl

I'd gladly give my recipe

I know it's good, it's worked for me

Take two hearts, a dash of tenderness

Mix them both and season with a kiss

That's the first part of my

recipe for happiness

Take her smile

Some yearning and desire

Heat with love and soon

you'll have a fire

You've almost got

my recipe for happiness

Hold her near at the proper time

Call her dear, it'll turn out fine

to reveal a touch of paradise

Mix a ring, a dash of shoes and rice

Now you've found my

recipe for happiness
