The Foundations

Transposer:

Standard Tuning Chorus 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’ You know that I have from the start So build me up (build me up) Buttercup Don’t break my heart     Verse 1 "I’ll be over at ten" you told me time and again But you’re late I wait around and then I went 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 I’ll be home I’ll be beside the phone waiting for you Ooo-oo-ooo ooo-oo-ooo Chorus 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’ You know that I have from the start So build me up (build me up) Buttercup Don’t break my heart       Verse 2 You were my toy but I could be the boy you adore If you’d just let me know Although you’re untrue I’m attracted to you all the more Why do I need you so (Hey hey hey!)

La chanson évoque les frustrations d'une relation déséquilibrée, où l'un des partenaires s'investit plus que l'autre. Le protagoniste demande pourquoi il est constamment laissé en attente et déçu, malgré l'amour qu'il ressent. Il exprime son besoin de recevoir de la tendresse et de la considération en retour, tout en se montrant résigné face aux promesses non tenues. En toile de fond, on ressent une dynamique de désespoir et d'espoir mêlés, où l'attente devient presque une habitude, malgré la douleur que cela engendre. C'est un reflet des défis que l'on peut rencontrer dans les relations amoureuses, où l'attente et la déception deviennent l'ordinaire, mais où l'amour persiste tout de même.
