Lyrics
Album Version
Sugar
Sugar
Sugar, butter
Sugar, butter
Sugar, butter, flour
Sugar, butter, flour
Sugar, butter, flour
My hands pluck the things I know that I’ll need
I take the sugar and butter from the pantry
I add the flour to begin what I am hoping to start
And then it’s down with the recipe
And bake from the heart
Sugar
And butter
And flour
And mother
What’s inside?
Everyone wants to know what’s inside
And I always tell them but I
Feel more than words can say
You wanna know what’s inside?
Simple question, so then what’s the answer?
My whole life is in here
In this kitchen baking
What a mess I’m making
Sara Bareilles Version
Sugar
Sugar
Sugar, butter
Sugar, butter
Sugar, butter, flour
Sugar, butter, flour
Sugar, butter, flour
My hands pluck the things I know that I’ll need
I take the sugar and butter from the pantry
I add the flour to begin what I am hoping to start
And then it’s down with the recipe
And bake from the heart
Sugar
And butter
And flour
And mother
What’s inside?
Everyone wants to know what’s inside
And I’ve always told them, but I
Feel something needs to change
You wanna know what’s inside?
I could tell you if I wasn’t hiding
My whole life is in here
In this kitchen baking
What a mess I’m making
