Why do you build me up (Build me up)

Buttercup baby just to

let me down (Let me down)

To 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 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

(hey hey hey)



Baby Baby (hey hey hey)

Try to find a little time

And I'll make you happy (hey hey hey)

I'll be home

I'll be waiting beside the phone

Waiting for you. (you, you)

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

(hey hey hey)
