Buttercup, call me up, Saturday night
Say whatever, do whatever you like
I'll be waiting on the end of the line
All I want is for you to be mine

She has me hanging on her every word
Her silver tongue leading me on
It gives me a feeling that I don't deserve
She's next to none, she's next to none

I like to think she sits and curls the cord
As we convey day after day
But hers is a love that I cannot afford
Till I've been paid, till I've been paid

But, baby, I'm not like those guys
I just wanna talk all night
Imagine that we're holding hands
Then maybe you'll understand
That I am losing my mind for you

Buttercup, call me up, Saturday night
Say whatever, do whatever you like
I'll be waiting on the end of the line
All I want is for you to be mine

Working the overtime to hear her voice
Feeling withdrawal, needing to call
Holding my breath until she's made her choice
Once and for all, once and for all

She might forever be a fantasy
And do me wrong until I'm gone
Sweet-talking all the way to bankruptcy
Dying alone next to the phone

But, baby, I'm not like those guys
Tell me all about your life
And maybe if you don't pretend
You will finally comprehend
That I am losing my mind for you

Buttercup, call me up, Saturday night
Say whatever, do whatever you like
I'll be waiting on the end of the line
All I want is for you to be mine

Buttercup, loosen up, Saturday night
Say whatever, do whatever you like
I'll be waiting on the end of the line
All I want is for you to be mine
