Ooooh…
  Say, hey, hey, hey…
  
  See, cigarettes and coffee ain’t good for you
  No I’m on my own and it’s all I do (all I do)
  Seem to’ve lost my appetite over you
  Now I need to chill but my mind won’t keep still
  Everyday, everyday, everyday…
  Confusion is the only word left I know
  Wish I had the answers why you blow hot then cold (then call)
  Illusion never ending deceivin’ me (me)
  First thing you do, second you don’t
  Everyday, everyday, everyday…
  
  Chorus
  You build me up - eey you build me up
  You tear me down -you tear me down
  You’re so elusive, it’s not conducive, no, no
  For us to be one too true we be two
  Me and you, and you, and you…
  
  So many of the fakers and chancers play (oh, yeah, yeah)
  You know you never get that from me, no way (no way)
  I crucify, you know I rectify
  No, no, don’t ask me why (don’t ask me why)
  For you I live or die (I’m dying)
  But I need no jacket, but a punch I will pack it
  Every time, every time, every time…
  Stop reckoning my love ain’t enough for you
  Now you’re understanding the things I do (understanding the things I do)
  I die trying it’s a riot and no taboo
  I need to lick it but you never stick it
  Too long, too long, too long…
  
  Chorus
  You build me up -you build me up
  You tear me down -you tear me down
  You’re so elusive, it’s not conducive, no, no
  For us to be one too true we be two
  Me and you, and you, and you…
  
  No-oh…aah…
  Pa, da, da…, aah… pa, da, da…
  No, no, no, no, no…
  You build me up
  
  You build me up -you build me up
  You tear me down - and you tear me down
  You’re so elusive, it’s not conducive, no, no
  For us to be one too true we be two
  Me and you, and you, and you…
  
  Chorus
  You build me up - (ooh)you build me up
  You tear me down -you tear me down
  You’re so elusive, it’s not conducive, no, no
  For us to be one too true we be two
  Me and you, and you, and you…
  
  You build me up, yeah
