Build Me Up, Buttercup
Why do you build me up, Buttercup, baby, just to let me down?
You mess me around, yeah, worst of all
You never call, baby, when you say you will
But I need you still
I need you more than anyone, darling
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 any more
It's not you, you let me down again
Baby, baby, try to find
A little time and I'll make you mine
I'll be home, be beside the phone waiting for you
Ooh-ooh
Why do you build me up (build me up)
Buttercup, baby, just to let me down and mess me around?
Then, worst of all (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
Know that I have from the start
So build me up (build me up)
Buttercup, don't break my heart
Oh, to you I'm a toy, but I could be the girl 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?
Baby, baby, try to find (hey, hey, hey)
A little time and I'll make you mine
I'll be home, 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 (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
Know that I have from the start
So build me up (build me up)
Buttercup, don't break my heart
I need you more than anyone, darling
Know that I have from the start
So build me up
Buttercup, don't break my heart
You mess me around, yeah, worst of all
You never call, baby, when you say you will
But I need you still
I need you more than anyone, darling
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 any more
It's not you, you let me down again
Baby, baby, try to find
A little time and I'll make you mine
I'll be home, be beside the phone waiting for you
Ooh-ooh
Why do you build me up (build me up)
Buttercup, baby, just to let me down and mess me around?
Then, worst of all (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
Know that I have from the start
So build me up (build me up)
Buttercup, don't break my heart
Oh, to you I'm a toy, but I could be the girl you adore

And then, worst of all (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
Know that I have from the start
So build me up (build me up)
Buttercup, don't break my heart
I need you more than anyone, darling
Know that I have from the start
So build me up
Buttercup, don't break my heart
