Buttercup - Lyrics

There's a chance for everybody
So I took my chance on loving you (no)
But just one man can make you happy
You wanna have your cake and eat it too (ho)

You won't give up your Buttercup
You say you love two but one is givin' up
'Cause he can't stay
You won't give up your Buttercup
You're plenty for one, but two you're not enough
So I can't stay (oh)
Rump pump pa, pumpah pah dahbah

I've a right to my opinion
And feeling we'd be better off as friends (ho)
'Cause you can make no one man happy
And when you're spreading yourself much too thin (ho)

Ohh you won't give up your Buttercup
You say you love two but one is givin' up
'Cause he can't stay (yeah, yeah)
No you won't give up your Buttercup
You're plenty for one, but two you're not enough
So I can't stay (oh)
Rump pump pa, pumpah pah dahbah

There's a chance for even losers
'Cause I will find a love that's pure someday (ho)
But you will be the one who's bluer
Because your game of love no one will play

Ohh you won't give up your Buttercup
You say you love two but one is givin' up
'Cause he can't stay (stay, ho)
Ohh you won't give up your Buttercup
You're plenty for one, but two you're not enough
So I can't stay (oh)
Rump pump pa, pumpah pah dahbah

You won't give up your Buttercup
You say you love two but one is givin' up
'Cause he can't stay (stay, ho)
You won't give up your Buttercup
You're plenty for one, but two you're not enough
So I can't stay, stay (oh)
Rump pump pa, pumpah pah dahbah
