(Originally by Mike d'Abo & Tony Macaulay, The Foundations)

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 tell me time and again,
But you're late.
I wait around and then
I went 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 happy.
I'll be home,
I'll be waiting beside the phone,
Waiting for you.

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