Intro
Chorus
Why do you build me up (build me up) Buttercup, baby
Just to let me down (let me down) and 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 Buttercup,
Don't break my heart
Verse 1
"I'll be over at ten," you told 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
Pre-Chorus
(Hey, hey, hey!) Baby, baby, try to find
(Hey, hey, hey!) A little time and I'll make you happy
I'll be home
I'll be beside the phone waiting for you
Ooo-oo-ooo, ooo-oo-ooo
Chorus
Why do you build me up (build me up) Buttercup, baby
Just to let me down (let me down) and 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
Verse 2
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
Pre-Chorus
(Hey, hey, hey!) Baby, baby, try to find
(Hey, hey, hey!) A little time and I'll make you happy
I'll be home
I'll be beside the phone waiting for you
Ooo-oo-ooo, ooo-oo-ooo
Chorus

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 need you (I need you) more than anyone, baby
You know that I have from the start
So build me up (build me up) Buttercup
(fade out)
