The Foundations
Chorus
Why do you C build me up (build me up) E7 Buttercup, baby
Just to F let me down (let me down) and G mess me around
And then C worst of all (worst of all) E7 you never call, baby
When you F say you will (say you will) but G I love you still
I need C you (I need you) more than C7 anyone, darlin'
You F know that I have from the Fm start
So C build me up G Buttercup,
Don't break my F heart C
Verse
"I'll be C over at G ten," you told me Bb time and F again
But you're C late, I wait F around and then
I C went to the G door, I can't Bb take any F more
It's not C you, you let me F down again
Bridge
F (Hey, C hey, Dm hey!) Baby, baby, try to find
G (Hey, Fm hey, Em hey!) A little time and I'll make you mine
F I'll be home. I'll be Dm beside the phone waiting for G you
G Ooo-oo-ooo, G ooo-oo-ooo
Chorus
Verse
To C you I'm a G toy but I Bb could be the F boy you
C Adore, if you'd just F let me know

Why do I F need you so
