Why do you build me up
Buttercup baby just to
let me down
And mess me around
And then worst of all
You never call baby
When you say you will
But I love you still
I need you
More than anyone darlin'
You know that I have from the start
So build me up
Buttercup
Don't break my heart
I'll be over at ten
You tell me time and again
But you're late
I wait around and then
I went to the door
I can't take any more
It's not you
You let me down again
Baby Baby
Try to find a little time
And I'll make you happy
I'll be home
I'll be beside the phone
Waiting for you.
Why do you build me up....
To you I'm a toy
But I could be the boy
You adore
If you'd just let me know
Although you're untrue
I'm attracted to you
All the more
Why do I need you so
Baby Baby.....
ooh ooh ooh
Why do build me up .....
