C E7 F G x2
[Chorus]
C E7
Why do you build me up (build me up) Buttercup, baby
F G
Just to let me down (let me down) and mess me around

And then worst of all (worst of all) you never call, baby
F G
When you say you will (say you will) but I love you still
C C7
I need you (I need you) more than anyone, darlin'

You know that I have from the start
C G
So build me up (build me up) Buttercup,

Don't break my heart
