C E7
Why do you build me up, buttercup, baby
F Dm
Just to let me down… and mess me around?
C E7
And then worst of all, you never call baby
F Dm
When you say you will, but I love you still
C C7
I need you… more than anyone, darling
F Fm
You know that I have from the start
C G F C *
So build me up, Buttercup, don’t break my heart
Verse
C G Bb F
“I’ll be over at ten”, you tell me time and again
C Dm
But you’re late, I’m waiting round and then
C G Bb F
I go to the door, I can’t take it anymore
C Dm
It’s not you, you let me down again
Pre-Chorus
G7 Dm
Baby, baby - try to find
Em A7
A little time, and I’ll make you happy
Dm D7 G
I’ll be home, I’ll be beside the phone, waiting for you
G
Ooo-oo-oo-ooo Ooo-oo-oo-ooo

Why do you build me up, buttercup, baby

Verse
C G Bb F
To you I’m a toy, but I could be the boy
C Dm
You adore, if you’d just let me know
C G Bb F
Although you’re untrue, I’m attracted to you
C Dm
All the more… Why do you treat me so?
