Beck Pete - Build Me Up, Buttercup

Why do you build me up
Buttercup, baby
Just to let me down
And mess me around
Worst of all
You never call, baby
When you say you will
But I need you still
I need you
More than anyone, darlin'
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
Baby, baby, try to find
A little time and I'll make you mine
I'll be home
Be beside the phone waiting for you
Ooh-oo-ooh
Why do you build me up
(Build me up)
Buttercup, baby
Just to let me down
And mess me around
And then worst of all
(Worst of all)
You never call, baby
When you 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
To you I'm a toy, but I could be the girl you adore
If you'd just let me know
Although you're untrue, I'm attracted to you all the more
Why do I need you so?
Baby, baby, try to find
(Hey, hey, hey!)
A little time and I'll make you mine
I'll be home
I'll be beside the phone waiting for you
Ooh-oo-ooh
Ooh-oo-ooh
Why do you build me up
(Build me up)
Buttercup, baby
Just to let me down
And mess me around
And then worst of all
(Worst of all)
You never call, baby
When you 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 need you more than anyone, baby
You know that I have from the start
So build me up
Buttercup, don't break my heart
