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

"Iʼll be over at ten," you told me time and again

But youʼre late, I wait around and then
  C           G             Bb       F
I went to the door, I canʼt take any more

Itʼs not you, you let me down again
