One, two
One, two, three
Something's troubling you
It's going to 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 woo my heart
And 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
It'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 woo my heart
And 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
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
Ow, can't you see (build me up, tear me down)
What you're doing to my life
Can't you see (build me up, tear me down)
What you're doing to my life
Can't you tell (build me up, tear me down)
How much I love you
Don't you know it (build me up, tear me down)
By the way I show it?
Don't build me up to tear me down
Give me hope then take it
Don't woo my hear then turn around
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
Just to tear me down
Don't build me up
Just to tear me down
Oh, don't build me up to tear me down
Take my love and use it
Keep tearing down what we found
And we're gonna lose it
