Standard (EADGBE)

Chorus

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 told 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 (hey, hey, hey)

Baby, baby, I try to find (hey, hey, hey) a little time and I’ll make you

mine

I’ll be home; I’ll be beside the phone waitin’ for you (OOooo, OOooo)

REPEAT CHORUS

You are my toy but I could be the boy you adore, if you’d just let me know

I know you are true I’m attracted to you all the more,

Why do I need you so (hey, hey, hey)

Baby, baby, I try to find (hey, hey, hey) a little time and I’ll make you

mine

I’ll be home; I’ll be beside the phone waitin’ for you (OOooo, OOooo)

REPEAT CHHORUS
