I was born in Lil' Rock,

Had a childhood sweetheart,

We were always hand in hand.



I was hightop shoes and shirt tails,

Suzy was in pig tails,

I know I loved her even then.



You know my papa disapproved it,

My mama boohooed it,

But I told them time and time again,

"Don't you know I was made to love her,

Built a world  around her"

Yah! Hey, hey, hey.



She's been my inspiration,

Showed appreciation

For the love I gave her through the years.



Like a sweet magnolia tree

My love blossomed tenderly,

My love grew sweeter through the years.



I know that my baby loves me,

My baby needs me,

That's why we made it through the years.



I was made to love her,

Worship and adore her,

Hey, hey, hey.



All through thick and thin

Our love just won't end,

'Cause I love my baby, love my baby. Ah!



My baby loves me,

My baby needs me,

And I know I ain't going nowhere.



I was knee high to a chicken

When that love bug bit me,

I had the fever with each passing year.



Oh, even if the mountain tumbles,

If this whole world crumbles,

By her side I'll still be standing there.



'Cause I was made to love her,

I was made to live for her, yeah!



Ah, I was made to love her,

Built my world all around her,

Hey, hey, hey.



Oo baby, I was made to please her,

You know Stevie ain't gonna leave her, no,

Hey, hey, hey.



Oo wee baby, my baby loves me,

My baby needs me,

Hey, hey, hey.
