You're a Builder Upper
When you want toYou are able to make me feel that I'm Clark GableThen next minute you make me feelI'm something from the zooFirst you warm up, then you're distantNever knew a girl so inconsistentI'm a big-shot at half past oneA so-and-so by twoHeaven forgive you for your sinsKeeping me on meaner than himYou're a builder-upper, a breaker-downerA holder-outer, and I'm a giver-innerSad but true, I'm a sapper or twoTaking it from a big rover like youDon't know where I'm afterI'm just a this-er, then I'm a that-erA taker on the chin-erMy, my, my, what a weakie am ITo love you as I doJust when I'm ready to sobYou hand me a throbAnd everything is hunky-doryAnd that's my storyOpen your arms and I'm a stooge for your charmsSongtexteYou're a builder-upper, a breaker-downerA holder-outer and I'm a giver-innerSad but true, I love it I doBeing broken by a builder-upper like youSad but true, I love it I doBeing broken by a builder-upper like you
