I was born in Little Rock
Had a childhood sweetheart
We were always hand in hand

I was hightop shoes and shirt tails
Suzy was in pigtails
I knew I loved her even then

I know my papa disapproved it
My mama boohooed it
But I told them time and time again

You know I was made to love her
Built my world around her
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 blossemed tenderly
My life grew sweeter through the years

I know that my baby loves me
You know, 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
You know that my baby needs me
I know I ain't going nowhere

I was knee high to a chicken
When that love bug hit me
I had the fever with each passing year

Oh, even if the mountain crumbles
Even if this whole world tumbles
By her side I'll still be standing there

'Cause I was made to love her
I was made to live for her, yeah, yeah, yeah
