Why do ya 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 ya still
I need you (I need you)
More than anyone, darlin'
You know that I have from the start
So build me up, oh, 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 (ba da ba)
I head for the door
I can't take anymore
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 ya mine
I'll be home
I'll be beside the phone waitin' for you
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Why do ya build me up (build me up)
Buttercup, baby
Just to let me down?
And mess me around
I need you (I need you)
More
Than anyone, darlin'
You know that I have from the start
So build me up, oh, buttercup
Don't break my heart
