Lyrics

[Verse 1]

You won't give up your buttercup

You won't give up your buttercup

You won't give up your buttercup

You're plenty for one, but two you're not enough

[Verse 2]

There's a chance for everybody

So I took my chance on loving you, yeah

But no one man can make you happy

You wanna have your cake and eat it too, yeah

[Verse 3]

You won't give up your buttercup

You say you love two but one is giving up

'Cause he can't stay, no, no

Aw, you won't give up your buttercup

You're plenty for one, but two you're not enough

And I can't stay

[Verse 4]

I've a right to my opinion

Feeling we'd be better off as friends, yeah

'Cause you can make no one man happy

When you're spreading yourself much too thin, aw

[Verse 5]

You won't give up your buttercup

You say you love two but one is giving up

'Cause he can't stay, no, no

Aw, you won't give up your buttercup

You're plenty for one, but two you're not enough

And I can't stay

[Verse 6]

Oh, buttercup, well, give it up

Oh, buttercup

[Verse 7]

You won't give up your buttercup

You say you love two but one is giving up

'Cause he can't stay, no, no

Aw, you won't give up your buttercup

You're plenty for one, but two you're not enough

And I can't stay

[Verse 8]

Oh, buttercup

Oh, buttercup

[Verse 9]

You won't give up your buttercup

You say you love two but one is giving up

'Cause he can't stay, no, no

Aw, you won't give up your buttercup

You're plenty for one, but two you're not enough

And I can't stay

[Verse 10]

There's a chance for even losers

'Cause I will find a love that's pure someday

Yeah, yeah, you will be the one who's bluer

Because your game of love no one will play, yeah

[Verse 11]

You won't give up your buttercup

You say you love two but one is giving up

'Cause he can't stay, no, no

You won't give up your buttercup

You're plenty for one, but two you're not enough

And I, I can't stay

[Verse 12]

Won't give it up, won't give it up

No, no, no, no, no, no, won't give it up

You gotta give it up

You gotta give it up

Or you're gonna lose me

[Verse 13]

Won't

Your buttercup, your buttercup has got to go

Oh, won't

Oh, no, no, no

[Verse 14]

Oh, buttercup

Oh, buttercup

Oh, give it up

Oh, give it up, you gotta give it up, whoa
