[Chorus]
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 wil 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

[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]
Baby, baby, try to find
A little time and I'll make you mine
I'll be home, I'll be beside the phone waiting for you

[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
You were my 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]
Baby, baby, try to find
A little time and I'll make you mine
I'll be home
I'll be beside the phone waiting for you

[Chorus]
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

[Outro]
I need you more than anyone, baby
You know that I have from the start
So build me up
Buttercup, don't break my heart
