Build 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 you will (say you will) but I need you still
I need you (I need you) more than anything, 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 went to the door, I can't take any more
It's not you, why do you treat me bad
(Hey, hey, hey!) Baby, baby, try to find
(Hey, hey, hey!) A little time and I'll make you mine
(Hey, hey, hey!) I'll be home
waiting by the phone for you
Ooo-oo-ooo, ooo-oo-ooo
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 need you still
I need you (I need you) more than anything, darlin'
You know that I have from the start
So build me up (build me up) Buttercup, don't break my heart
You were my toy but you could be the boy i adore
If you'd just let me know (bah-dah-dah)
Although you're untrue, I'm attracted to you more and more
well what can i say?
(Hey, hey, hey!) Baby, baby, try to find
(Hey, hey, hey!) A little time and I'll make you mine
(Hey, hey, hey!) I'll be home
waiting by the phone for you
Ooo-oo-ooo, ooo-oo-ooo
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

I need you (I need you) more than anything, darlin'
You know that I have from the start

i thought this song (which is a great cover) was by save ferris until i realized its on my mallrats movie soundtrack and it says the band who plays that is called the goops and both the "goops" and save ferris covers are identacle (the same) and its so confusing
This song is sung by Save Ferris as well as Goops. The reason they sound so much alike is because the lead singer of save ferris is the lead singer from the Goops. ...Mallrats is a great movie...
haha yeah mall rats is a great movie<3 ...mall rats and empire records are two of my favorite movies.. but anyways back to the song.. sweet cover ..i also like save ferri's song 'under 21' and 'the world is new'
monique powell has one of the best ska voices around! how passionate is she when in the last chorus????!! best cover of this song, i like it better than the original!

She does have a great voice. I like their cover of Come on Eileen too.
