Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I was born in Little Rock
Had a childhood sweetheart
We were always hand in hand
I wore hightop shoes and shirt tails
Suzy was in pig tails
I knew I loved her even then
[PreChorus]
You know my papa disapproved it
My mama boo-hooed it
But I told them time and time again
Don't you know I was made to love her?
Built my world all around her
Yeah, hey, hey, hey
[Chorus]
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 life grew sweeter through the years
[Verse 2]
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
[PreChorus]
All through thick and thin
Our love just won't end
'Cause I love my baby, love my baby, ah
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 3]
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, hey-hey, hey
[Chorus]
Ah, I was made to love her
Built my world all around her
Hey, hey, hey
Ooh, baby, I was made to please her
You know Stevie ain't gonna leave her, no
Hey, hey, hey
