Why do you build me up (build me up) Buttercup
Baby, just to let me down (let me down)
And mess me around
And then worst of all (worst of all)
You never call baby when you say you will (say you will)
But I love you still
I need you (I need you), more than anyone darlin'
You know that I have from the start
So build me up (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 waited 'round and then (bah dah dah)
I went to the door, I can't take any more
It's not you, you let me down again (hey, hey, hey)
Baby, baby try to find (hey, hey, hey) a little time
And I'll make you happy (hey, hey, hey)
I'll be home, I'll be beside the phone waiting for you (ooh-ooh,
ooh-ooh)
Why do you build me up (build me up) Buttercup
Baby just to let me down (let me down)
And mess me around
And then worst of all (worst of all)
You never call baby when you say you will (say you will)
But I love you still
I need you (I need you), more than anyone darlin'
You know that I have from the start
So build me up (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'd just let me know (bah dah dah)
Although you're untrue, I'm attracted to you all the more
Why do I need you so? (hey, hey, hey)
Baby, baby try to find (hey, hey, hey) a little time
And I'll make you happy (hey, hey, hey))
I'll be home, I'll be beside the phone waiting for you (ooh-ooh,
ooh-ooh)
Why do you build me up (build me up) Buttercup
Baby just to let me down (let me down)
And mess me around
And then worst of all (worst of all)
You never call baby when you say you will (say you will)
But I love you still
I need you (I need you) more than anyone darlin'
You know that I have from the start
So build me up (build me up) Buttercup
Don't break my heart
I-I-I need yo-ou-ou-ou
More than anyone, baby
You know that I have from the start
So build me up (build me up)
