Build Me Up Buttercup
Why do you build me up? (Build me up)
Buttercup baby, just to let me down? (Let me down)
And mess me around
Yeah, 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 darling
You know that I have from the start
So build me up (Build me up)
Buttercup
Don't break my heart
You'll be over at ten
You tell me time and again
But you're late
I wait around again (Bah-dah-dah!)
I went to your door
I can't take any more
It's not you
You let me down again
(Hey hey hey!)
Well baby, baby, try to find
(Hey hey hey!)
A little time, then I'll make you mine
(Hey hey hey!)
I'll be home
Waiting by the phone for you
Why do you build me up? (Build me up)
Buttercup baby, just to let me down? (Let me down)
And mess me around
Yeah, 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 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 (Bah-dah-dah!)
Although you're untrue
I'm attracted to you all the more
Why do I need you so?
(Hey hey hey!)
Well baby, baby, try to find
(Hey hey hey!)
A little time, then I'll make you mine
(Hey hey hey!)
I'll be home
Waiting by the phone for you
Why do you build me up? (Build me up)
Buttercup baby, just to let me down? (Let me down)
And mess me around
Yeah, 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 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 I need you
More than anything darling
You know that I have from the start
So build me up
Buttercup
Don't break my heart
Buttercup baby, just to let me down? (Let me down)
And mess me around
Yeah, 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 darling
You know that I have from the start
So build me up (Build me up)
Buttercup
Don't break my heart
You'll be over at ten

You know that I have from the start
So build me up
Buttercup
Don't break my heart
