Why do you build me up (build me up) Buttercup, baby
Just to let me down (let me down) and mess me around
And 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 just build me up (build me up) Buttercup, don't break my heart
"Well I'll be over at ten", you told me time and again
But you're late, I wait around again (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!) and maybe, baby I try to find
(Hey, hey, hey!) I need some time and I will make you mine
(Hey, hey, hey!) I'll be home
Waiting by the phone, waiting for you
Ooo-oo-ooo, ooo-oo-ooo

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
But you just let me go
(Hey, hey, hey!) Baby, baby, try to find
(Hey, hey, hey!) I need some time so I can make you mine
(Hey, hey, hey!) I'll be home
Waiting by the phone, waiting for you
Ooo-oo-ooo, ooo-oo-ooo
