 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 and  I can't take  no more but 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 waiting beside the phone  waiting for you.
 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?
Baby  Baby try to  find a little  time and I'll make  you happy
I'll  be home waiting beside the  phone waiting for you. Ohhhhhh
 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
