Song Lyrics

Why do you build me up, buttercup
Baby, just to let me down?
Mess me around, yeah
And worst of all
You never call baby, when you say you will

I need you still, I need you
More than anything darling
More than I have from the start
So build me up, buttercup
Don't break my heart

You'll be over at ten
You tell me time and again
But you're late
I wait around and then
I went to the door
I can't take anymore
It's not you
Why do you treat me bad?

Baby, baby, I try to find
A little time, where I don't make you mine
I'll be home
Waitin' by the phone for you

You were a toy
But, you could be the boy I adore
If you just let me know
I build you up too
I'm attracted to you, more and more
What more can I say?

Baby, baby, I try to find
A little time
Where I don't make you mine
All alone
Waitin' by the phone for you

Tony Macauley, Mike D'abo
