Why do you build me up, buttercup, baby
Just to let me down and mess me around?
And 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 told me time and again
But you're late, I wait around and then
I went to the door, I can't take anymore
It's not you, you let me down again
Baby, baby, try to find a little time, I'll make you happy
I'll be home by the phone waiting for you
Why do you build me up, buttercup, baby
Just to let me down and mess me around?
And 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 was your toy, but you could be the boy I adore
If you'd just let me know
Although you're untrue, I'm still attracted to you all the more
Why do I need you so?
Baby, baby, try to find a little time, I'll make you happy
I'll be home by the phone waiting for you
Why do you build me up, buttercup, baby
Just to let me down and mess me around?
And 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
Why do you build me up?
Buttercup, don't break my heart
