The Jackson 5

Buttercup

There's a chance for everybody

So I took my chance on loving you (no)

Just no one man can make you happy

You wanna have your cake and eat it too (ho)

You won't give up your Buttercup

You say you love too but one is givin' up

'Cause he can't stay

You won't give up your Buttercup

You're plenty for one, but two you're not enough

So I can't stay (oh)

Rump pump pa, pumpah pah dahbah

I've a right to my opinion

Feeling we'd be better, off as friends (ho)

'Cause you can make no one man happy

When you're spreading yourself much too thin (ho)

You won't give up your Buttercup

You say you love too but one is givin' up

'Cause he can't stay (yeah, yeah)

You won't give up your Buttercup

You're plenty for one, but two you're not enough

So I can't stay (oh)

Rump pump pa, pumpah pah dahbah

There's a chance for even losers

'Cause I will find a love that's pure someday (ho)

You will be the one who's bluer

Because your game of love, no one will play

You won't give up your Buttercup

You say you love too but one is givin' up

'Cause he can't stay (stay, ho)

You won't give up your Buttercup

You're plenty for one, but two you're not enough

So I can't stay (oh)

Rump pump pa, pumpah pah dahbah

You won't give up your Buttercup

You say you love too but one is givin' up

'Cause he can't stay (stay, ho)

You won't give up your Buttercup

You're plenty for one, but two you're not enough

So I can't stay, stay (oh)

Rump pump pa, pumpah pah dahbah

(Instrumental)

Rump pump pa, pumpah pah dahbah
