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 darlin'

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

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 darlin'

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

Ba by ba by...
