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 darling
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
Ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh
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 darling
you know that
I have from the start
so build me up
buttercup
don't break my heart
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 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
Ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh
Why do you build me up
buttercup baby
just to let me down?

And then worst of all
You never call baby

but I love you still
I need you
More than anyone darling
you know that

so build me up
buttercup
don't break my heart

buttercup baby
just to let me down?
