G         Bm
Why do you build me up buttercup baby,
           C               D
don't you let me down and mess me around.
          G               Bm
And then worst of all you never call baby,
          C                D
when you say you will, but I love you still.

        G             F
I need you more than anyone darling,
      C               Cm
you know that I have from the start.
  G           D
Build me up, buttercup,
                C     G/B Am G D
don't break my heart.

        G             D           F         C
I'll be over at ten, you told me time and again.
               G             C
I know you're late, I wait around and then
   G           D            F       C
I run to the door, I can't take anymore.
        G                  C          C/B
But I know you you let me down again.
Am            D
 Baby, baby, try to find
Bm                   E
 a little baby that makes me happy.
G                       A                      D
I'll be strong, I'll be all night waiting for you.
