[Verse 1]
There's a chance for everybody
So I took my chance on loving you, yeah
But no one man can make you happy
You wanna have your cake and eat it too, yeah
[Chorus]
You won't give up your buttercup
You say you love two but one is givin' up
'Cause he can't stay, no, no
Ah, you won't give up your buttercup
You're plenty for one but two, you're not enough
And I can't stay
Rum-pum-pa, rum-pum-pa-dah
[Verse 2]
I've a right to my opinion
A feeling we'd be better off as friends, yeah
'Cause you can make no one man happy
When you're spreading yourself much too thin, ah
[Chorus]
You won't give up your buttercup
You say you love two but one's givin' up
'Cause he can't stay, no, no
Ah, you won't give up your buttercup
You're plenty for one but two, you're not enough
And I can't stay
Rum-pum-pa, rum-pum-pa-dah
[Scatting]
[Bridge]
Oh, buttercup, oh, give it up
Na, na, na, na, na, no
Oh, buttercup
Ooh, no, no, no, no, no, no
[Chorus]
You won't give up your buttercup
You say you love two but one is givin' up
'Cause he can't stay, no, no
You won't give up your buttercup
You're plenty for one but two, you're not enough
But I can't stay
Rum-pum-pa, rum-pum-pa-dah
[Verse 3]
There's a chance for even losers
'Cause I will find a love that's pure someday
Yeah, yeah, you will be the one who's bluer
Because your game of love no one will play
[Chorus]
You won't give up your buttercup
You say you love two but one is givin' up
'Cause he can't stay, no, no
You won't give up your buttercup
You're plenty for one but two, you're not enough
And I, I can't stay
Rum-pum-pa, rum-pum-pa-dah
[Outro]
(You won't give up)
Won't give it up
(You won't give up your buttercup)
Won't give it up
No, no, no, no, no, no
(You won't give up)
Won't give it up
(You won't give up your buttercup)
You've gotta give it up
You gotta give it up
Or you're gonna loose it
(You won't give up)
Won't give it up
(You won't give up your buttercup)
Oh, give it up, you gotta give it up, whoa-oh
(You won't give up)
Whoa-oh
(You won't give up your buttercup)
Give it up, oh no, no
(You won't give up)
Won't give it up
(You won't give up your buttercup)
Come on and give it up, give it up
Won't you, you are gonna lose
(You won't give up, you won't give up your buttercup)
Girl, I'm in love with you
