“Butter” lyrics by BTS
Smooth as butter, like an undercover criminal
Trouble will break out and break into your heart like that, ooh
A cool, wonderful shade, yes, I owe everything to my mother, uh
Hot like summer, yeah I’m making you sweat like that (explain it)
Ooh, when I look in the mirror
I’ll melt your heart in two
I have that superstar glow, so
Ooh (boogie, like)
A lateral step, right-left, at my pace
High as the moon, swing with me, darling
Know that I have that heat
Let me show you why talk is cheap
Side step, right-left, at my own pace
Take it, let it roll
Smooth as butter, it draws you in like no other
There’s no need for any Usher to remind me that it went badly for you
There is no one else who can overwhelm you like a thief
Honestly, I made you fall like that (bring it down)
Ooh, when I look in the mirror
I’ll melt your heart in two
I have that superstar glow, so
Ooh (boogie, like)
Side step, right-left, at my own pace
High as the moon, swing with me, darling
Know that I have that heat
Let me show you why talk is cheap
A lateral step, right-left, at my pace
Take it, let it roll
Take it, let it roll
Take it, let it roll
Ice on my wrist, I’m a good guy
I have the right body and the right mind
Starting the party, I found the right atmosphere
Smooth as (butter), hate us (love us)
Cool boy, stop and let’s stay low
All musicians move when the bass drops
We have the ARMYs right behind us when we say that
Let’s go
Sidestep, right-left, at my pace (right-left, at my pace)
High as the moon, swing with me, darling
You know I got that heat
Let me show you why talk is cheap (you know talk is cheap)
Side step, right-left, at my own pace
Take it, let it roll
Smooth as (butter), cool tone (stunning)
And you know we don’t stop
Hot like (summer), it ain’t no (too bad)
You’ll say, “Oh, my God”
We’ll make you rock and you say (yeah)
We’ll make you bounce and you say (yeah)
Hotter, sweeter, fresher, butter
Take it, let it roll
