Lyrics
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, darlin'
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 told me time and again
But you're late, I wait around and then (bah dah dah)
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
(Hey, hey, hey) a little time and I'll make you mine
(Hey, hey, hey) I'll be home
I'll be beside the phone waiting for you
Ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh
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, darlin'
You know that I have from the start
So build me up (build me up) buttercup, don't break my heart
You were my 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?
baby, baby, try to find
(Hey, hey, hey) a little time and I'll make you mine
(Hey, hey, hey) I'll be home
I'll be beside the phone waiting for you
Ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh
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, darlin'
You know that I have from the start
So build me up (build me up) buttercup, don't break my heart
I, I, I need you more than anyone, baby
You know that I have from the start
So build me up (build me up) buttercup
Songwriters: Tony Macauley / Mike D'Abo

    This song makes me think of the early/mid 2010s bc my mom worked for diamond sports, a baseball company, and she would get Angel’s/Dodgers tickets from her boss every few months. And this song plays during the 7th inning stretch at Angel’s Stadium, and it makes me sad and nostalgic every time I hear it.

    I'm only 19 years old, and I love all songs from the 60's to early 2000's. And this is one of my most favorites Edit: I've only turned 20 recently, 2023 I'll be having my 21st Bday (my bday is in September). And I do enjoy some music now, but not pop, hip hop or rap, that stuff 🤢not music. I enjoy Rock, classic rock, soft rock, rock and roll, heavy rock all that sort and some smooth sound music from the 60s - nowadays

    leah My grade school was cool I was afraid my school mates would laugh at me because I had so many IRISH Freckles on my face, Turned out I was a ladies man the girls said my Freckles were cute on my face. Us O'GRADY boys must have been good looking these girls came to our house sometimes right after school to bad they were 8-9 year olds. Crazy 70s kids drinking beer at 14 years old. 8th grade we had a girl that looked like Steavie Nicks from Fleetwood Mac. I grew up watching Partridge Family & Brady Bunch. I was born a PISCES born to like Music, I went to Stadium concerts at 12 years old, saw Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, Doobie Brothers, LYnyrd Skynyrd, Allman Brothers, Alice Cooper, I was a lucky pearson my Girlfriends liked to Party like me. They say girls like IRISH Men. I admit us IRISH are Different born with Red Hair & Freckles. It is true most IRISH like there Alcohol, Doesnt help most IRISH songs are about Drinking Hey we have our IRISH Dancing, Not funny most people think all IRISH are Drunks, & even today REDHEADS get Bullied. Funny some people think our Freckles are Bug Bites. Not gonna Lie us O'GRADY Family we liked our Alcohol. IRISH Familys are known for having lots of kids. I knew I was IRISH both Mom & Dad had IRISH last names O'GRADY & KELLY. Mom side gave us kids 12 first cousins. Again not gonna Lie being IRISH we liked our Alochol.
