"You Only Build Me Up To Tear Me Down" lyrics

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 without a warning, in front of a crowd

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
You only build me up to tear me down
Down, down
Yeah, yeah
(Only build me up) Baby, baby, baby
(Only build me up) Ooh yeah, baby (Baby, baby)
You only build me up to tear me down
Down, down
Yeah, ooh-wee, baby
(Only build me up) Baby, baby, baby
(Only build me up)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, baby (Baby, baby)
You only
