[Verse 1]
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 start to destroy me

[Pre-Chorus]
Piece by piece, I'm torn apart and all my dreams
Of being yours are crumbled to the ground

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
Oh, on Monday, maybe you might make me feel like I am a king
(You build me up, you build me up)
Tell me you're a puppet and I've got the string
Oh, but then on Tuesday, it's a different thing

[Pre-Chorus]
Just as I began to get the feel of the throne
And start to cherish the crown

[Chorus]
I find that 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
