The Temptations Build Me Up Butter Cup lyrics

Why do you build me up buttercup, baby
(Build me up)
Just to let me down and mess me around
(Let me down)
And then worst of all you never call, baby
(Worst of all)
When you say you will but I love you still
(Say you will)

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

"I'll be over at ten", you told me time and again
But you're late, I wait around and then
(Bah, dah, dah)
I run to the door, I can't take any more
It's not you, you let me down again

(Hey, hey, hey)
Baby, baby, try to find
(Hey, hey, hey)
A little time, and I'll make you happy
(Hey, hey, hey)
I'll be home
I'll be beside the phone waiting for you

Why do you build me up buttercup, baby
(Build me up)
Just to let me down and mess me around
(Let me down)
And then worst of all you never call, baby

(Worst of all)
When you say you will but I love you still
(Say you will)

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

To you I'm a toy but, I could be the boy you adore
If you'd just let me know
(Bah, dah, dah)
Although you're untrue, I'm attracted to you all the more
Why do I need you so?

(Hey, hey, hey)
Baby, baby, try to find
(Hey, hey, hey)
A little time and I'll make you happy
(Hey, hey, hey)
I'll be home
I'll be beside the phone waiting for you

Why do you build me up buttercup, baby
(Build me up)
Just to let me down and mess me around
(Let me down)
And then worst of all you never call, baby
(Worst of all)
