Lyrics
[Verse 1]
There's a chance for everybody
So I took my chance on lovin' you, no
But just one man can make you happy
You wanna have your cake and eat it too, oh
[Verse 2]
You won't give up your Buttercup
You say you love too, but one is givin' up
'Cause he can't stay
Whoa
[Verse 3]
Oh, 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
[Verse 4]
I've a right to my opinion
Feeling we'd be better off as friends, whoa (Better off as friends)
'Cause you can make no one man happy
And when you're spreading yourself much too thin, oh
[Verse 5]
You won't give up your Buttercup
You say you love too, but one is givin' up
'Cause he can't stay, yeah, yeah
No, 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
[Verse 6]
If there's a chance for even losers
'Cause I will find the love that's pure someday, oh
But you will be the one who's bluer
Because your game of love no one will play
[Verse 7]
Oh, you won't give up your Buttercup
You say you love too, but one is givin' up
'Cause he can't stay, stay, oh
Oh, 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
[Verse 8]
You won't give up your Buttercup
You say you love too, but one is givin' up
'Cause he can't stay, stay, oh
Oh, 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
[Verse 9]
(Ooh, ah, ooh)
[Verse 10]
Rump, pump, pa, pumpah, pah, dahbah
