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 love 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 love 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 were 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 love 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 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
