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 love you (i love 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
