NEIL DIAMOND lyrics - Recipe For Happiness

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
