You're A Builder-Upper - Diahann Carroll

You’re a builder-upper, a breaker-downer

A holder-outer, and I’m a giver-inner

Sad but true, I’m a sapper or two

Taking it from a big rover like you

Don’t know where I’m atter

I’m just a this-er, then I’m a that-er

A take it on the chin-er

My, my, my, what a weakie am I

To love you as I do

Just when I’m ready to sob

You hand me a throb

And everything is hunky-dory

And that’s my story

Open your arms and I’m a stooge for your charms

You’re a builder-upper, a breaker-downer

A holder-outer and I’m a giver-inner

Sad but true, I love it I do

Being broken by a builder-upper like you

Just when I’m ready to sob

You hand me a throb

And everything is hunky-dory

And that’s my story

Open your arms and I’m a stooge for your charms

You’re a builder-upper, a breaker-downer

A holder-outer and I’m a giver-inner

Sad but true, I love it I do

Being broken by a builder-upper like you

Just you
