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 all 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 blossmed tenderly, My life 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, 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 crumbles, 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 Hey, hey, hey.
