[Verse 1]
I've been under construction
And it's taken too long
Before every decision
Every blueprint is wrong
I don't wanna be precious
'Cause I ain't got the time
I wish I was a new person
I wish it'd happen overnight
[Pre-Chorus]
Now I'm asking myself, asking myself
Why oh why does life keep breaking me down?
Asking myself, asking myself
Why oh why does life keep breaking me down?
[Chorus]
When I'm low I need a friend
To build me up again, build me up again
The world is falling on my head
So build me up again, build me up again
[Verse 2]
I know all my dimensions
Are demented as hell
Need someone to correct them
'Cause I wanna be well
Give me one hundred stories
Give me one hundred lies
My foundation is crooked
But I'm scraping the sky
[Pre-Chorus]
Now I'm asking myself, asking myself
Why oh why does life keep breaking me down?
Asking myself, asking myself
Why oh why does life keep breaking me down?
[Chorus]
When I'm low I need a friend
To build me up again, build me up again
The world is falling on my head
So build me up again, build me up again
Build me up again
Build me up again
[Bridge]
When I'm low I need a friend
(To build me up again, build me up again)
The world is falling on my head
(So build me up again), build me up again
[Chorus]
When I'm low I need a friend
To build me up again, build me up again
The world is falling on my head
So build me up again, build me up again
[Outro]
Build me up again
So build me up again, -gain, -gain
Build Me Up was written by Phoebe Ryan & JRM & James Ghaleb & Leroy Clampitt.
Build Me Up was produced by Leroy Clampitt.
Phoebe Ryan released Build Me Up on Thu Jul 11 2019.
“Build Me Up” is just a fun bop that we released because I’d been sitting on it for three years and I was like, “This song rules. It needs to be out there.”
