[ Intro ] [ Verse 1 ] Oh you butter believe it, You're the apple of my eye. I will freely confess, You're tastier than cherry pie. I want you here beside me, Whilst I'm cooking up a storm. It isn't just the oven, That serves to keep me warm! [ Chorus ] So just sit down next to me, I have got to spill the beans. This all happens for a raisin, Let me love through my cuisine. I want to make you happy, Cooking up a meal for two. The only ingredient... I am missing - Is You! [ Verse 2 ] So this is how the cookie crumbles, You can order "à la carte". My momma always told me, Go through the stomach to the heart. I think you're egg-stra special, Please let me ketchup with you. Always wanna make, Reservations for two! [ Chorus ] So just sit down next to me, I have got to spill the beans. This all happens for a raisin, Let me love through my cuisine. I want to make you happy, Cooking up a meal for two. The only ingredient... I am missing - Is You! [ Breakdown ] You do not have to worry - no "best before" date on this offer. If you need something to drink - I have more than table water. There is no preparation needed - I am fresh and ripe and ready. You can surely "kiss the cook" - 'cause you always turn me into jelly. [ Final Chorus ] So just sit down next to me, I have got to spill the beans. This all happens for a raisin, Let me love through my cuisine. I want to make you happy, Cooking up a meal for two. The only ingredient... I am missing - Is You! [ Outro ]
