Build Me Up Lyrics

Artist: Huey Lewis and The News
Album: Hard at Play

Don't try to tell me why
You just can't get enough of me
So fine, so unkind
I can tell that you're using me
You just using me
You know what you do to me

You just build me up
And then you let me down
Make you feel like a man
And treat me like a clown

So strong, but you so wrong
Should've known it all along
So nice, like paradise
I got this feeling I'll be paying price
Paying price for you
I'll be paying for the rest of my life
That ain't nice

You just build me up
And then you act so cool
Make you feel like a flame
And treat me like a fool

Got me hangin'
On a string

You have incorrect lyrics and the song isn't even finished

So nice, like paradise
(should be)
So nice, like free advice

Make you feel like a flame
(should be)
Make me feel like a king

(end of the song)
Oh, you got me hanging on a string
Up and down I go
You got me acting like a toy
You got remote control.

Well well, well I can tell
You got me fishing in a wishing well
How long can this go on?
I'm getting tired of the same old song
Tired of the song baby
It's been going on much too long
It's just the same old song.

You just build me up,
and then you let me down
You make me feel like a man,
and treat me like a clown, baby
You just build me up,
and then you act so cool
You make me feel like a king,
and treat me like a fool.

Don't know baby,
don't you build me up, baby
Don't you do it,
don't you build me up
Hey, hey, don't you build me up.
