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
And I love you still
I need you, I need you more than anyone, darlin'
Know that I have from the start
So 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
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 (hey, hey, hey)
A little time and I'll make you mine (hey, hey, hey!)
I'll be home
And I'll be beside the phone waiting for you (you)
Why do you build me up
Buttercup, baby just to let me down (let me down)
And you mess me around
And then worst of all
You never call, baby
When you say you will (say you will)
And I love you still
I need you (I need you) more than anyone, darlin'
Know that I have from the start
So build me up
Buttercup, don't break my heart
