Build You Up

  • Build You Up
  • [Intro]
  • Baby don't believe it X2

Oh, it's in your eyes / I can see the weakness /

You don't have to hide / I can take you under / Under my wing / ‘cause your voice gives me a soul / That I love to sing

[Chorus]

Baby, they'll build you up / Only to tear you down / Don't give up / Baby don't believe it /

Baby don't believe it / Baby they'll build you up / Only to tear you down / Baby don't believe it / Baby don't believe it /

Oh, it's good for nothing

[Verse 2]

You were just a child / Ready to explode /

And everything you saw / Looked like an open door / A place you can remember /

You'd love to go back / But you can't even comprehend / That it's all in the past

[Chorus]

Baby they'll build you up / Only to tear you down / Baby don't believe it /

Baby don't believe it / Oh, it's good for nothing / Baby they'll build you up /

Only to tear you down / Baby don't believe it / Baby don't believe it /

Oh, it's good for nothing

[Bridge]

Put your heart in my hands / And I won't hurt you / Put your heart in my hands /

I promise not to / Put your heart (put your heart) / In my hands (in my hands) /

I'll lift you up, you'll fly away, fly away /

I'll lift you up…

[Chorus]

I'll never build you up / Only to tear you down / Don't give up / Baby don't believe it / Oh, it's good for nothing /

I'll never build you up / Only to tear you down / Baby don't believe it / Baby don't believe it / Oh, it's good for nothing / I'll never build you up /

Only to tear you down / Baby just believe it / Baby just believe it /

Oh it's good for something

[Outro]

I'll never build you up / Only to tear you down / Oh it's good for nothing /

I wanna love you the way you are [Intro]
