Temptations, The - 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 anyone, 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, try to find
(Hey, hey, hey!) A little time, and I'll make you happy
(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 anyone, darling
You know that I have from the start
So build me up (Build me up) buttercup, don't break my heart
To you I'm a toy but I could be the boy you adore
If you'd just let me know (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, try to find
(Hey, hey, hey!) A little time and I'll make you happy
(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
I need you (I need you) more than anyone, baby
You know that I have from the start
So build me up (Build me up) Buttercup, don't break my heart

All these years later and I still love this song! A classic to me.
Hot!!!!!!!!!!!!

@Janks H why hot?
@Omar Jr22 It's a fun, beautifully engaging song. It just makes you want to move, to dance. That's hot! Even sexy.
@Janks H Me too. That's a wonderful song, I love it.
always a fun song 😄
Every cover of this song is always so depressing and sad and serious. This just sounds so happy.
Great song, written by Mike D'Abo. Have you noticed it's a happy, upbeat song although the lyrics are anything but?
Jan 10, 2020: I dedicate this song to Sgt Manuel R. Martinez, 23, who was killed on Friday, Aug 22, 1975 south of Santa Fe. Manuel rolled his 240Z Datsun while returning to Albuquerque following a long work week at the Farmington mines. Having misplaced his keys, he was speeding to make up for lost time. Manuel was a gentle Marine with a shy grin, warm heart, kind nature and strong work ethic. (He trained at Camp Pendleton, served a year in Okinawa, and was a member of both the Carpenters Union and VFW. We exchanged letters and I grew to love him.) Manuel was a bit of a rebel and we were both insecure, as our parents had troubled marriages. (Prior to the accident, his mother had recently remarried and moved to a beautiful home.) Manuel, you are missed every day. KATRINA
Wow this really got to me
Old but Gold😘

It’s 2020 and its still stuck on my head

*Every building needs a foundation*

Mark Richards all out the tank with it 💯💯
I went here after watch that movie call "something about Mary" something like that
I am so sorry that you had to deal with this emergency with your blessed child!
I have 3 baby girls that are doing awesome for now.
My middle daughter has crohns but I was 600 miles away from her.
She’s in remission now and just got married to the love of her life!
My son in law is so blessed and helps me and Holly!
I can never show him how much he means to me K
I used to do Olympic fencing back when i was a tween and the gym i used to go to was owned by an old couple that would always blast 60s music on the radio, every time i would go to the gym that is all i would hear! Every. single. session.. Sometimes i look back and smile, if it wasn't for them i would have never known about 60-90s music. Amazing, compared to today's tunes this is so valuable!

As I get older and the world becomes more difficult to tolerate, I seek out simple snippets of joy. This is one of them.

As a senior in H.S., I had a first crush on a freshman girl in band. Don't know if she ever knew. After the first semester, everything just cooled. I heard a few years ago, she's gone, due to an
