You Build Me Up To Tear Me Down

Original

One, two. One, two, three.

Something's troubling you.

It's gonna mess up your mind.

You're reaching for rainbows that you never seem to find.

Life gives you hope, then disappointments.

And you do the same thing to me.

Oh, you build me up, to tear me down.

Give me hope, then take it.

Why do you want my heart, then turn around and break it?

You build me up, to tear me down. Don't take my love and use it.

Keep tearing down what we found, and we're gonna lose it.

You can come to me hungry, with your back against the wall.

But when you're unhappy , you just don't come by at all.

I'm not a fair weather woman, and I need an all weather man. Oh, why do you build me up, to tear me down?

It's my life you're stealing.

Every time things go wrong, you run and hide your feelings.

You build me up, to tear me down. Don't take my love and use it.

Keep tearing down what we found, and we're gonna lose it.

You're gonna lose it, baby. Don't you abuse it, baby.

You're gonna lose it, baby. Don't you abuse it, baby.

Sharing troubles, that's what love's about.

If you let me help you, we can work it out.

I just need you to love me, 'cause I need you to live.

You don't need to promise what you just don't have to give.

I don't really care how big you make it, as long as you make it with me.

But you build me up, tear me down. Give me hope, then take it.

Why do you want my heart, then turn around and break it?

Don't build me up, to tear me down. Don't take my love and use it.

Keep tearing down what we found, and we're gonna lose it. Don't build me up, tear me down. It's my life you're stealing.

Every time things go wrong, you run and hide your feelings.

Don't build me up, tear me down. Just to tear me down.

Give me hope, then you don't come around.

Can't you see what you're doing to my life?

Can't you see what you're doing to my life?

Can't you see how much I love you?

Don't you know it from the way I show it?

Can't you see you build me up, to tear me down? Give me hope, but don't come around.

You build me up, to tear me down. You give me hope, and don't, oh.

Can't you see what you're doing to my life?

Can't you see what you're doing to my life?

Can't you tell how much I love you?

Don't you know it by the way I show it?

Don't build me up, to tear me down. Give me hope, then take it.

Don't break my heart, then turn around, turn around and break it. Don't build me up, to tear me down.
