Lyrics:

I cook my dinners for an audience
At least that's what I'd like to do
Lately it's me and my irrelevance
Garnished with hopeless love for you

I cut these onions 'til I cry
Sear my heart on every side
Golden brown and lightly fried
I just don't know what I'm to do
With this meal I made for two...
Unless I cook for you!

I made a home-cooked meal
Full of everything I feel
And I send my love
Through the searing stainless steel
I hope you feel the heat
'Cause you're everything to me
Have this shrimp fried rice
No more talking, let's just eat!

You cook your dinners with no elegance
Nothing pretty, just some food
That might be why you're such a pessimist
Every day its plain white rice and chicken breast with protein powder, it's petulant!

Sous vide it slowly for a day
While the lonely hours away
Watch those colors turn to grey
Wouldn't your dinner feel complete
With some savory and sweet?
Just come and cook with me!

I made a home-cooked meal
Full of everything I feel
And I send my love
Through the searing stainless steel
I hope you come and eat
'Cause it's such a tasty treat
Have this shrimp fried rice
Grab a plate and take a seat!

Oh, Shrimp Miku in the place to be
You want a shrimp fajita or a shrimp scampi?
I got thirty-nine methods to prepare seafood
And I'd make up a million more for you
You make my heart beat wild and free
Now I'm seeing colors that I can't perceive
Baby don't back down, take a chance on me
And no, I don't give a shit about your shellfish allergy!

I don't care!
You're gonna eat this fried rice I made for you
Or... or there's gonna be problems!
You hear me?

I made a home-cooked meal
Full of everything I feel
And I send my love
Through the searing stainless steel
I hope you feel the heat
'Cause you're everything to me
Have this shrimp fried rice
No more talking, let's just eat!
