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 tell 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 time
  And I'll make you mine
  (Hey,Hey,Hey)I'll be home
  I'll be beside the phone
  Waiting for you.
  
  Why do you... build me up....
  
  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............
  
  ooh ooh ooh
  Why do build me up .....
