The FoundationsBuild Me Up Buttercup Lyrics:
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 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 told me time and again.
But you're late, I wait around and then,
(Bah-dah-dah).
I ran 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 happy.
(Hey, hey, hey!)
I'll be home,
I'll be beside the phone,
Waiting for you.
Oooo-hoo, oooo-hoo.
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 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 I need you so?
(Hey, hey, hey!)
Baby, baby, try to find,
(Hey, hey, hey!)
A little time, and I'll make you happy.
(Hey, hey, hey!)
I'll be home,
I'll be beside the phone,
Waiting for you.
Oooo-hoo, oooo-hoo.
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 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-I-I need
[Fade.]
You-oo-oo, more than anyone, baby,
You know that I have from the start.
So build me up (build me up),
Buttercup, don't break my heart.
