Why do you build me up buttercup, baby
(Build me up)
Just to let me down and mess me around
(Let me down)
And then worst of all you never call, baby
(Worst of all)
When you say you will but I love you still
(Say you will)
I need you more than anyone, darlin'
(I need you)
You know that I have from the start
So build me up, oh buttercup, don't break my heart
(Build me up)
"I'll be over at ten", you told me time and again
But you're late, I wait around 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 mine
(Hey, hey, hey)
I'll be home, I'll be beside the phone waiting for you
Ooh oh ooh, ooh oh ooh
Why do you build me up buttercup, baby
(Build me up)

I need you more than anyone, darlin'
(I need you)

So build me up, oh buttercup, don't break my heart
