Build Me Up Buttercup - The Foundations (1968)

Why do you build me up, Buttercup, baby

Just to let me down and mess me around

And then worst of all you never call, baby

When you say you will, but I love you still

I need you more than anyone darling

You know that I have from the start

So 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

I run 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


To you I'm a toy but I could be the boy you adore

If you just let me know

Although you're untrue I'm attracted to you all the more

Why do I need you so
