Mallrats soundtrack – The Goops - Build Me Up Buttercup lyrics

(Macaulay / D'abo)

Why do you build me up, buttercup,
Baby, just to let me down?
Mess me around, yeah,
and worst of all,
You never call baby, when you say you will.
I need you still, I need you,
More than anything darling,
More than I have from the start.
So build me up, buttercup,
Don't break my heart.

You'll be over at ten,
You tell me time and again.
But you're late,
I wait around and then.
I went to the door,
I can't take anymore.
It's not you,
Why do you treat me bad?

Baby, baby, I try to find,
A little time, where I don't make you mine.
I'll be home,
Waitin' by the phone for you.

You were a toy,
But, you could be the boy I adore.
If you just let me know.
I build you up too,
I'm attracted to you, more and more.
What more can I say?
Baby, baby, I try to find,
A little time,
Where I don't make you mine.
All alone,
Waitin' by the phone for you.
