Help - 1960's Song Lyric - Bet With Wife!

[Brangwen]

Hello Everybody. I know, I know. This is not a music BB, but most of us have a fairly decent grasp of general knowledge and I had no where else to turn. The despute with my wife involves one word, the name of a girl being sung about in a '60s tune, that I have left _______________ (blank). The song includes the following out of order lines, "Build me up, build me up, _____________, baby, just to break my heart. . . I need you, I need you..., more than anyone darlin', you know that I have from the start. So build me up, build me up, _____________ but don't break my heart.

Hey Brangwen
Getting the name wrong in an old song is one thing . But you call the wrong name out loud in your sleep(with your wife laying next to you) and see what hell you catch.
Been there /done that!!!

"...I need you, [chorus]I need you, more than anyone darlin'...I knew that right from the start. So build me up, [chorus]build me up, Buttercup, don't break my heart..."

This song is used in about 3-5 flicks per year as a credit song or in a yuppie flachback scene!!!

I love it!!!!!
