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 the 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
Buttercup, don't break my heart
"I'll be over at 10" you told me time and again.
But you're late, I wait around and then,
I run 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 more time,
And I'll make you happy.
(Hey, hey, hey!) I'll be home.
I'll be beside 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, Why do I need you so?
(Hey, hey, hey!) Baby, baby, try to find
