Lyrics

[Verse 1]
(Hey hey, yes, I was made to love her)
I was born in Little Rock
Had a childhood sweetheart
We were always hand in hand
[Verse 2]
I wore high-top shoes and shirt-tails
Suzy was in pigtails
I knew I loved her even then, yeah
(Yes, I was made to love her)
[Verse 3]
Don't you know my papa disapproved it
My Mama hoo-hooed it
But I told them time and time again
(Yes, I was made to love her)
[Verse 4]
Don't you know I was made to love her
Built my world around her
Hey hey hey
(Yes, I was made to love her)
[Verse 5]
She's been my inspiration
Showed me appreciation
For the love I gave her through the years
(Yes, I was made to love her)
[Verse 6]
Like a sweet magnolia tree
My love blossomed tenderly
My life grows sweeter through the years
(Yes, I was made to love her)
[Verse 7]
I know that my baby loves me
My baby needs me
That's why we made it through the years
(Yes, I was made to love her)
[Verse 8]
I was made to love her
Worship and adore her
Hey hey hey
(Yes, I was made to love her)
[Verse 9]
My little baby loves me
My baby needs me
And I know I ain't goin' nowhere
[Verse 10]
I was knee-high to a chicken
And the love bug bit me
And I had the fever with each passing year
(Yes, I was made to love her)
[Verse 11]
If the mountain tumbles
If this whole world crumbles
I know I'll still be standing there
(Yes, I was made to love her)
[Verse 12]
'Cause I was made to love her
I was made to live for her
Hey hey hey
(Yes, I was made to love her)
[Verse 13]
Oh, through thick and thin
Our love just won't end
'Cause I love my baby, love my baby
OOH
(Yes, I was made to love her)
(Yes, I was made to love her)
