Build Me up, Buttercup - The Foundations

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» I told you time and again

But you’re late, I waited 'round the bend

(Bah-dah-dah)

I run to the store, I can’t take any more

Without you, you let me down again

(Hey, hey, hey!)

Baby, baby, I 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

Ooh-oo-ooh

(Ooh-oo-ooh)

Why do you build me up

(Build me up)

Buttercup, baby

Just to let me down

(Worst of all)

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

To you I’m a 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 you treat me so?

(Hey, hey, hey!)

Baby, baby, I 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

Ooh-oo-ooh
