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
