C E7
Why do you build me up (build me up) Buttercup, baby
F G
Just to let me down (let me down) and mess me around
C E7
And then worst of all (worst of all) you never call, baby
F G
When you say you will (say you will) but I love you still
C C7
I need you (I need you) more than anyone, darlin'
F Fm
You know that I have from the start
C G
So build me up Buttercup,
F C
Don't break my heart
[Pre-Chorus]
C G Bb F
"I'll be over at ten," you told me time and again
C F
But you're late, I wait around and then
C G Bb F
I went to the door, I can't take any more
C F
It's not you, you let me down again
[Chorus]
F C Dm
(Hey, hey, hey!) Baby, baby, try to find
G Fm Em
(Hey, hey, hey!) A little time and I'll make you mine
F
I'll be home
D7 G
I'll be beside the phone waiting for you
G G
Ooo-oo-ooo, ooo-oo-ooo

[Pre-Chorus]
C G Bb F
To you I'm a toy but I could be the boy you
C F
Adore, if you'd just let me know
C G
Although you're untrue,
Bb F C
I'm attracted to you all the more
F
Why do I need you so
[Chorus]
