Why do you build me up
Buttercup baby just to let me down
And mess me around and then worst of all
You say you'll call baby but you never will
And I love you still
I need you, more than anything darlin'
You know that I have from the start
So build me up buttercup
But don't break my heart

I'll be over at 10 you tell me time and again
But you're late, I wait around again
I walk to the door I can't take anymore
But it's you, you let me down again

Hey baby baby, I try to find
A little something then I can make you mine
I'm here alone, sitting beside my phone waiting for you

Why do you build me up
Buttercup baby just to let me down
And mess me around and then worst of all
You say you'll call baby but you never will
And I love you still
I need you, more than anything darlin'
You know that I have from the start
So build me up buttercup
But don't break my heart

You are the toy but I could be the boy you adore
If you just let me know, I walk through the door
I can't take anymore but it's you, you let me down again

Hey baby baby, I try to find
A little something then I can make you mine
I'm here alone, sitting beside my phone waiting for you

Why do you build me up
