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

You'll be over at ten,
you tell me time and again
But you're late,
I wait around and then (bah-dah-dah)
I went to the door,
I can't take any more
It's not you,
why don't you treat me right
(Hey, hey, hey!)
Baby, baby, I try to find
(Hey, hey, hey!)
A little time where I'll make you mine
(Hey, hey, hey!) I'll be home
waiting by the phone for you
Ooo-oo-ooo, ooo-oo-ooo

You were a toy, but you could be the boy I adore
If you'd just let me know (bah-dah-dah)
I'll build you up too, I'm attracted to you more and more
Well, what can I say?
(Hey, hey, hey!)
Baby, baby, I try to find

waiting by the phone for you
