Why do you build me up
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 I need you
More than anyone, darling
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 wait around and then
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
I'll be home
I'll be beside the phone waiting for you
Ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh
Why do you build me up
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 I need you
More than anyone, darling
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
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
I'll be home
I'll be beside the phone waiting for you
Ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh
Why do you build me up
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 I need you
More than anyone, darling
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 you more than anyone, baby
You know that I have from the start
