Jackson 5 - Buttercup (Album Version)

Written and Produce by Stevie Wonder
Recorded early - mid 1974

Lyrics:
There's a chance for everybody
So I took my chance on loving you (no)
Just one man can make you happy
You wanna have your cake and eat it too (ho)

You won't give up your Buttercup
You say you love two but one is givin' up
'Cause he can stay
You won't give up your Buttercup
You're plenty for one but two, you're not enough
So I can't stay (oh)
Rump pump pa, pumpah pah dahbah

I've a right to my opinion
Feeling we'd be better, off as friends (ho)
'Cause you can make no one man happy
When you're spreading yourself much too thin (ho)

You won't give up your Buttercup
You say you love two but one is givin' up
'Cause he can stay (yeah, yeah)
You won't give up your Buttercup
You're plenty for one but two, you're not enough
So I can't stay (oh)
Rump pump pa, pumpah pah dahbah

You won't give up your Buttercup
You say you love two but one is givin' up
'Cause he can stay (yeah, yeah)
You won't give up your Buttercup
You're plenty for one but two, you're not enough
So I can't stay (oh)
Rump pump pa, pumpah pah dahbah

There's a chance for even losers
'Cause I will find a love that's pure someday (ho)
You will be the one who's bluer
Because your game of love, no one will play

You won't give up your Buttercup
You say you love two but one is givin' up
'Cause he can stay (stay, ho)
You won't give up your Buttercup
You're plenty for one but two, you're not enough
So I can't stay (oh)
Rump pump pa, pumpah pah dahbah

You won't give up your Buttercup
You say you love two but one is givin' up
'Cause he can stay (ho)
You won't give up your Buttercup
You're plenty for one but two, you're not enough
So I can't stay (stay oh)
You're plenty for one but two, you're not enough
So I can't stay, stay (oh)
Rump pump pa, pumpah pah dahbah

(Instrumental break)

Rump pump pa, pumpah pah dahbah

@crismjj it sounds like a good extended edit if this user did put it together..i was at a DJ Spinna Stevie party this year and he played a "true" extended version with extra ad libs, i believe there was an extra verse and some stuff was rearranged, but it kicks off with Stevie doing the countoff which I thought was cool.

Those background vocals are on point! And there's something special about that lead singer lol

Where did you get this version from? Did you make this version? The time for this track in the album is 3:54. This one seems like an "Extended Version", you know?
