BUILD ME UP BUTTERCUP (THERE’S SOMETHING ABOUT MARY, 1998)

“I couldn't believe that she knew my name.

Some of my best friends didn't know my name.” – Ted

One of the most hugely successful comedies in recent years, There's Something About Mary is the one that put the Farrelly Brothers on the map. As well as putting Cameron Diaz as everyone's eye candy Mary. A fun albeit a gross flick, the soundtrack provides the film with more charmed. The Foundations' Build Me Up Buttercup song becomes associated with the film.


BUILD ME UP BUTTERCUP
sung by: The Foundations

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

I'll be over at ten

You tell 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

Baby Baby

Try to find a little time

And I'll make you happy

I'll be home

I'll be waiting beside the phone

Waiting for you

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

To you I'm a 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

Baby Baby
Try to find a little time
And I'll make you happy
I'll be home
I'll be waiting beside the phone
Waiting for you

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

I-I-I need you more than anyone darling.....
