Build Me Up Buttercup Lyrics

Why do you build me up (build me up) Buttercup, baby 
Just to let me down
(let me down) and mess me around 
And then worst of all (worst of all) you
never call, baby 
When you say you will (say you will) but I need you still

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

Ooo-oo-ooo, ooo-oo-ooo 
Why do you build me up (build me up) Buttercup,
baby 
Just to let me down (let me down) and mess me around 
And then
worst of all (worst of all) you never call, baby 
When you say you will (say
you will) but I need you still 
I need you (I need you) more than anyone,
darlin' 
You know that I have from the start 
So build me up (build me
up) Buttercup, don't break my heart 
You are my 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!) 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
Ooo-oo-ooo, ooo-oo-ooo 
Why do you build me up (build me
up) Buttercup, baby 
Just to let me down (let me down) and mess me around

And then worst of all (worst of all) you never call, baby 
When you say
you will (say you will) but I need you still 
I need you (I need you) more
than anyone, darlin' 
You know that I have from the start 
So build me up
(build me up) Buttercup, don't break my heart 
Why do you build me up (build
me up) Buttercup, baby 
Just to let me down (let me down) and mess me around

And then worst of all (worst of all) you never call, baby 
When you say
you will (say you will) but I need you still 
I need you (I need you) more
than anyone, baby
You know that I have from the start 
So build me up
(build me up) Buttercup, don't break my heart
