The lyrics of the song U&I was created by Yui Hirasawa. She made the song because her younger sister, Ui Hirasawa got a low fever. She realized that those precious and irreplacable things that she had were always there by her side, but when she takes them for granted, she doesn't notice them anymore. Talking about Ui and her clubroom. This song is with Gohan wa Okazu because Yui had also wrote Gohan wa Okazu for the sake of the clubroom. As you can see, U&I spell the name of Ui. She wanted to say how much she loves her younger sister.

Omoi yo todoke
English Translation
If you're not around I can't do anything
I want to eat whatever you make
So when you get back home
I'm gonna hug you with a great big smile
If you're not around I can't take it anymore
I long for the sound of your voice
Just being able to see you smile that would mean everything to me
Simply being by my side you've always given me the courage
I wanna be with you forever and a day
I wanna tell you that this is how I feel
Whether under the sun or under the rain
You were always there when I needed you
Whenever I close my eyes I could see your smile shining brightly
If you're not around I don't know what to do
Where's the sugar and soy sauce?
And I was hoping that I could surprise you
When you come home
I think I've been spoiled too much
Because you're too good to me
You gave me so many things that I can't even get to pay you back
All the while I took your existence for granted
And I thought that we would always, always be together
As days go by
I'm sorry only now that I realized
That it really isn't the case
So to start things off I have to tell you these two words
"Thank you"
Will they go straight to your heart?
I'm not so sure of myself right now but
Don't laugh, okay? Please listen to me
'Cause I'm gonna put all my feelings into this song
I would like to take all my "Thank You's"
And send it to you through this song
This is a feeling I will never, ever forget
