Build Me Up, Buttercup piano leadsheet with chords
Why do you build me up (build me up),
buttercup, baby, just to let me down (let me down) and mess me around,
and then worst of all (worst of all) you never call,
baby, when you say you will (say you will) but I love you still;
I need you (I need you) more than anyone,
darling, you know that I have from the start.
So build me up (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 run to the door, I can't take anymore,
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 beside the phone waiting for you.
Oo. Oo.
