You're like a baby, I'm like a set of blocks you got for a toy First you build me up and that gives you joy Then you change your mind and you start to destroy me Piece by piece I'm torn apart And all my dreams of being yours are crumbed to the ground Oh you only build me up baby, baby You only build me up baby, baby You only build me up to tear me down, down, down (ooh) Oh on Monday maybe you might make me feel like I am a king (you build me up) Tell me you're a puppet (you build me up) and I've got the string (you build me up) Oh but then on Tuesday (you build me up) it's a different thing (Ooh) just as I begin to get the feel of the throne and (ooh) start to cherish the crown I found out you only build me up baby, baby (Only build me up) baby, baby, baby, baby You only build me up to tear me down, down, down (ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh) Yeah, yeah (ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh) (Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh) Ooh you give me hope, for a while you had me walkin' 'round on a cloud Braggin' about you and feelin' real proud Then without a warnin' in front of a crowd You bring me back to Earth with some unkind deed soon as I am heaven bound Oh you only build me up, only build me up You only build me up, only build me up Baby, baby (only build me up) Baby, baby, baby (baby baby), you only build me up to tear me down, down, down (Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh) yeah, yeah (Only build me up baby, baby) baby, baby (Only build me up baby, baby) ooh yeah, baby You only build me up to tear me down, down, down (Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh) yeah, ooh wee baby (Only build me up baby, baby) baby, baby, baby (Only build me up baby, baby) yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah baby
