Why do you build me up Buttercup baby just to let me down and mess me around

I'll be over at ten, you tell me time and again but you're late. I wait around and then
  C5                G5             Bb5                      F5                  C5                F5

Baby Baby try to find a little time and I'll make you happy

To you I'm a toy but I could be the boy you adore, if you'd just let me know
