Butter on My Roll
The Gregory Brothers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You came into my life and suddenly, the sun was shining.
It took a little while,
You made me stop and smile,
And showed me how good life could be
Oh, o-oh!
Chorus
Every time you look at me,
I know I'm the only one that you see.
And all the nights that were cold and lonely
Were worth it for my one and only!
It's you, boy-
Oh, it's you, girl (o-oh, oh yeah)-
The butter on my roll, and the sugar in my soul.
It's you, boy-
No, it's you, girl, whoa-oh-
The icing on my cake and the oven in my bake!
It's you,
It's you,
It's you-ou-ou-ou-ou-ou-ou-ou-ou!
It's you,
It's you,
It's you-ou-ou-ou-ou-ou-ou-ou-ou!
You came into my life, I thought I was doing just fine.
Didn't know I would meet one who needed me, whoa-oh whoa yeah.
It took a little time, but then I made you mine,
You showed me how good life could be
Whoa!
Chorus
Every time you look at me,
I know I'm the only one that you see.
And all the nights that were cold and lonely
Were worth it for my one and only!
It's you, boy-
Oh, it's you, girl (o-oh, oh yeah)-
The butter on my roll, and the sugar in my soul.
It's you, boy-
No, it's you, girl, whoa-oh-
The icing on my cake and the oven in my bake!
I know that the days,
The days will surely get rough.
When our love's not enough,
I promise you to say,
Every single day:
Chorus
Every time you look at me,
I know I'm the only one that you see.
And all the nights that were cold and lonely
Were worth it for my one and only!
It's you, boy-
Oh, it's you, girl (o-oh, oh yeah)-
The butter on my roll, and the sugar in my soul.
It's you, boy-
No, it's you, girl, whoa-oh-
The icing on my cake and the oven in my bake!
It's you,
It's you,
It's you-ou-ou-ou-ou-ou-ou-ou-ou!
It's you,
It's you,
It's you-ou-ou-ou-ou-ou-ou-ou-ou! (repeat till ending)
The Gregory Brothers's song, "Butter on My Roll," is an upbeat, love-filled anthem that celebrates the joy and happiness of being with the one you love. The first verse paints a picture of the singer's life before their significant other came into it. The days were gray, and life seemed dull and unexciting. However, with their lover's arrival, the sun starts shining, and everything in life becomes instantly better. The lyrics "You made me stop and smile and showed me how good life could be" encapsulate the essence of the song perfectly.
The chorus of the song is the most memorable part, with the singer expressing how they're the only one that their lover sees. The nights which were once cold and lonely now seem worth it, for they found the one person they were meant to be with. The line "It's you, boy/girl, the butter on my roll and the sugar in my soul" creates a vividly sweet image of the love shared between two people. The bridge of the song speaks of the ups and downs that life may throw at a couple, but how they will face them together, promising to remind each other why they fell in love every day.

I remember the time when my days were grey.
I used to live a mundane life devoid of joy and color.
You came into my life and suddenly, the sun was shining.
Then you appeared and brought light to my life which was dreary and bleak.
It took a little while,
It didn't happen right away,
You made me stop and smile,
But eventually you made me stop and appreciate the beauty of the world
And showed me how good life could be
You helped me realize the many amazing things that life could offer
Every time you look at me,
Whenever you gaze at me lovingly
I know I'm the only one that you see.
I understand that in your eyes, I am the only one that matters
And all the nights that were cold and lonely
All those times when I was alone and sad
Were worth it for my one and only!
All of that was worth it because I found my one true love
It's you, boy-
You are the one who completes me, my love
Oh, it's you, girl (o-oh, oh yeah)-
Yes, it's you who does that, my darling
The butter on my roll, and the sugar in my soul.
You are the thing that complements and enhances my life, making it sweeter
No, it's you, girl, whoa-oh-
It's definitely you, my love
The icing on my cake and the oven in my bake!
You're like the cherry on top of my cake, and without you, my life wouldn't be complete
You came into my life, I thought I was doing just fine.
At first, I thought I was happy on my own
Didn't know I would meet one who needed me, whoa-oh whoa yeah.
But then you appeared, and I realized that I needed someone who loved me as much as I love them
It took a little time, but then I made you mine,
It didn't happen right away, but eventually, I won your heart
I know that the days,
I understand that there will be difficult times
The days will surely get rough.
Dark times will come, there is no doubting that
When our love's not enough,
When our love may not be able to fix everything,
I promise you to say,
I vow to always tell you,
Every single day:
Each and every day of our lives together:
It's you, boy-
You, my love,
Oh, it's you, girl (o-oh, oh yeah)-
Yes, it's you, my darling,
The butter on my roll, and the sugar in my soul.
You are the sweetness in my life, and I'm grateful every day for your presence
It's you, boy-
You, my partner in life,
No, it's you, girl, whoa-oh-
No, it's you, my other half,
The icing on my cake and the oven in my bake!
You're what makes my life complete, I'm so lucky to have you
It's you,
You, always and forever,
It's you,
You, the one I love,
It's you-ou-ou-ou-ou-ou-ou-ou-ou!
It's always you!
It's you,
You, forever and always,
It's you,
You, my heart and soul,
It's you-ou-ou-ou-ou-ou-ou-ou-ou!
It will always be you!

The Gregory Brothers
congrats!

I've been listening to this since it came out. So good. And I feel like their originals don't get the attention they deserve. The Gregory Brothers make such good originals and make any sort of thing they cover into a total original as well. too much talent. Halp
