Save Ferris - Build Me Up Buttercup Lyrics
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 anything, darlin'
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 (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
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 anything, 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 you could be the boy I adore
If you'd just let me go (bah-dah-dah)
Although you're untrue, I'm attracted to you more and more
What more can I say
(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 alone
Waiting by the phone for you
Ooo-oo-ooo, ooo-oo-ooo
Why do you build me up (build me up) buttercup, baby
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 anything, darling
You know that I have from the start
So build me up (build me up) buttercup, don't break my
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) I need you still
I need you (I need you) more than anything, darling
You know that I have from the start
So build me up (build me up) buttercup, don't break my heart

Save Ferris Build Me Up Buttercup Comments
People should do covers of this badass version! This is one of the only songs where the cover is better than the original.
She sounds like Monique Powell from Save Ferris (who did an equally outstanding ska cover of "Come On Eileen").
Rafael Fiol I just checked that song out. You know when you find a new song and you put it on repeat a bunch of times? That’s me right now. It rocks 🤘
no it isnt. the speeding up made the song loose a big chunk of its appeal
Right along with You Just Keep Me Hangin On by Vanilla Fudge
This is heavenly.
