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 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 went 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 mine
(Hey, hey, hey) I'll be home
I'll be beside the phone waiting for you
Ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh

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 were my 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 mine
(Hey, hey, hey) I'll be home
I'll be beside the phone waiting for you
Ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh

Why do you fill me up (fill me up) with cum, baby
Just to impregnate me (abortions are $500 usd) and mess me around?
And then worst of all (worst of all) your abusive, 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

I, I, I need you more than anyone, baby
You know that I have from the start
So build me up (build me up) buttercup

This is truly one of the awesome oldies that are meant to be turned up all the way. Not only to mask the peple that can't sing for crap and don't know the words, but also to fully enjoy the song itself. It's a great song for when you have the blues and it's my top pick when my parents are drivng in the car.

this song is great for those who can enjoy a real song! it's basically how we feel when we want a certain someone to call or come over because you want to be with them... even though the other person has other things they want to do.. you are going to still love and adore the person that build you up!

Great song, about loving someone but they just let you down and yet you keep loving them. My mates and I will just start singing it in lessons, best way of filling silence!

This song is about a guy getting screwed over by a girl he loves, she dosent ring him up and sometimes lets him down. He is upset, but loves her so much it dosen't matter. I think its a beautiful song.
