Build Me up Buttercup Lyrics

Build Me Up Buttercup
(D'Abo/Macaulay)

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


"I'll be over at ten", you told me time and again
But you're late, I wait around and then - bah-dah-dah
I ran to the door, I can't take any more
It's not you, you let me down again

Hey, hey, hey! Baby, baby, try to find
Hey, hey, hey! A little time and I'll make you mine
Hey, hey, hey! I'll be home
I'll be beside the phone waiting for you
Ooo-oo, ooo-oo

Why do you build me up - build me up - Buttercup, baby ....

You were my toy but I could be the boy you adore
If you'd just let me know - bah-dah-dah
Although you're untrue, I'm attracted to you all the more
Why do I need you so

Hey, hey, hey! Baby, baby, try to find ....

Why do you build me up - build me up - Buttercup, baby ....

I-I-I need you more than anyone, baby
You know that I have from the start
So build me up - build me up - Buttercup ....
