The Proclaimers — You Built Me Up lyrics

Lyrics

Yesterday was all black
And I fell into despair
I fell into despair
The whole world was on my back
And my knees began to go And my legs began to bow
But last night you built me up again
You made me feel that I could win
Last night you built me up again
Yesterday was all wrong
And I couldn’t make it right
I could not make it right
But your bravery’s like a lion’s
Your reasoning myth-defying
You cut right through to the heart of it You let me believe that I thought of it Then despair was replaced by energy
Yesterday was all black
And I fell into despair
I fell into despair
But last night you built me up again
You made me feel that I could win
Last night you built me up again
Last night you built me up again
You made me feel that I could win
Last night you built me up again
