I'm Building Up To An Awful Letdown Lyrics - 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
