Why do you build me up

buttercup, baby

just to let me down

and mess me around

and then worst of all

You never call, baby

when you say you will

but I love you still

I need you

More than anyone, darlin'

you know that I have

from the start

so, build me up buttercup

don't break my heart

I'll be over at ten

you told me time and again

but you're late

I wait around and then

I run to the door

I can't take anymore

it's not you

you let me down again

Baby, baby, try to find

a little time

and I'll make you happy

I'll be home

I'll be beside the phone

waiting for you, Ooh, Ooh

Why do you build me up

buttercup, baby

just to let me down

and mess me around

and then worst of all

You never call, baby

when you say you will

but I love you still

I need you

More than anyone, darlin'

you know that I have

from the start

so, build me up buttercup

don't break my heart

To you I'm a toy

but I could be

the boy you adore

if you'll just let me know

I build you up too

I'm attracted to you

all the more

why do I need you so

Baby, baby, try to find

a little time

and I'll make you happy

I'll be home

I'll be beside the phone

waiting for you, Ooh, Ooh

Why do you build me up

buttercup, baby

just to let me down

and mess me around

and then worst of all

You never call, baby

when you say you will

but I love you still

I need you

More than anyone, darlin'

you know that I have

from the start

so, build me up buttercup

don't break my heart

I, I, I need you

more than anyone, baby

you know that I have

from the start

so, build me up buttercup

don't break my heart
