Why do you build me up?
Just to run me down
Then you fill my cup
And turn my love around all around
Why do you take me where my love can't go?
Why do you make me love you more and more?
Don't have the Eiffel Tower
Silver or gold
But my love for you
Is the greatest story ever told
Don't have the Eiffel Tower
Or anything like that
But I love you
And that's where it's at
Why you have to start
Just to break my heart?
Tearin' it all apart
Then you make it stop
I can't stand it baby
You move me so
And my love get's started
It goes and goes and goes
This is not a dream
It's worth more than that to me
Somedays you just can't see
Won't you listen to me?
Don't have the Eiffel Tower
Silver or gold
But my love for
It's worth more and more and more
I wanna stay this time
I wanna make you mine
I love you, baby
