BUILD ME UP BUTTERCUP
The Foundations

  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
Ooo-oo-ooo, ooo-oo-ooo
