"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 run to the door, I can't take any more
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
(Hey, hey, hey!) I'll be home
I'll be beside the phone
Waiting for you
Ooo-oo-ooo (Ooo-oo-ooo)

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

You were a toy but I could be the boy you adore,
if you'd just let me go (Bah-dah-dah)
Although you're untrue, 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 happy
(Hey, hey, hey!) I'm be home
I'll be beside the phone
Waiting for you
Ooo-oo-ooo (Ooo-oo-ooo)
