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

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
