I'm Building Up to an Awful Let-Down

I'm Building Up To An Awful Let-Down - Fred Astaire

I'm like Humpty Dumpty

Up on the garden wall

I'm riding high and who can deny

That whatever goes up must fall

Poor old Humpty Dumpty

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 just a flash

Will it 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 falling in love with you
