I'm Bulding Up To An Awful Let-Down 1935

I'm like HumptyDumpty
upon the garden wall,
I'm riding high
and who can deny
that whatever goes up must fall.
Poor old HumptyDumpty
he got the toughest break,
and yet his fall
was nothing at all,
like the tumble I'm gonna take.

I'm building up to an awful letdown,
by playing around with you.
You're breaking down my terrific buildup
by treating me as you do.
My castles in the air,
my smile so debonair,
my one big love affair.
Is it just a flash
will it all go smash,
like the nineteen twenty nine market crash?
I'm building up to an awful letdown
by falling in love with you.

I'm building up to an awful letdown,
by playing around with you.
You're breaking down my terrific buildup
by treating me as you do.
My castles in the air,
my smile so debonair,
my one big love affair.
Is it just a flash
will it all go smash,
like the nineteen twenty nine market crash?
I'm building up to an awful letdown
by falling in love with you.
