Build Me Up Buttercup by David Johansen Lyrics

Why do ya build me up
Buttercup
Baby, just to let me down
You mess me around

You know worst of all
You never call
Baby, when you say you will
I love you still

I need you more than anyone darlin'
You know that I have from the start
So build me up
But buttercup, don't break my heart

This happened again
You'll be over at ten
But you're late, I wait around and then
I rush to the door
I can't take anymore
It's not you, you let me down again
Oh baby, baby, try to find
A little time, and I'll make you happy
I'll be home, right beside the phone, waiting for you

Why do ya build me up
Buttercup
Baby, just to let me down
You mess me around

You know worst of all
You never call
Baby, when you say you will
But I love you still

I need you, more than anyone darlin'
You know that I have from the start
So build me up
And buttercup, don't break my heart

To you I'm a toy
But I could be the boy you adore
If you'd just let me know
And though you're untrue
I'm attracted to you all the more
Why do I need you so?
Oh, baby, baby, I try to find
A little time and I'll make you happy
I'll be home
Right beside the phone
Waiting for you

Why do ya build me up
Buttercup
Baby, just to let me down
You mess me around

You know worst of all
You never call
Baby, when you say you will
But I love you still

I need you, you know that I need ya
You know that I have from the start
So build me up
And buttercup
Don't break my heart

You know that I have from the start
So build me up
And buttercup
Don't break my heart
Don't break it
Don't break my heart
