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
Still 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 ooo-oo-ooo
Why do you build me up (build me up)

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
To you I'm a toy but I could be the boy you adore
If you 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) Oh 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 ooo-oo-ooo
