Build Me Up

Why do you build me up (build me up) Buttercup, baby

Just to let me down (let me down) and mess me around

And worst of all (worst of all) you never call, baby

When you say you will (say you will) but I need you still

I love you (I love you) more than anyone, darlin

You know that I have from the start

So just build me up (build me up) Buttercup, don't break my heart

"Well I'll be over at ten", you told me time and again

But you're late, I wait around again (bah-dah-dah)

I went to the door, I can't take any more

It's not you, you let me down again

(Hey, hey, hey!) and maybe, baby I try to find

(Hey, hey, hey!) I need some time and I will make you mine

(Hey, hey, hey!) I'll be home

Waiting by the phone, waiting for you

Ooo-oo-ooo, ooo-oo-ooo

You were my toy but I could be the boy you adore

If you'd just let me know (bah-dah-dah)

Although you're untrue, I'm attracted to you all the more

But you just let me go

(Hey, hey, hey!) Baby, baby, try to find

(Hey, hey, hey!) I need some time so I can make you mine

(Hey, hey, hey!) I'll be home

Waiting by the phone, waiting for you
