I Was Made to Love Her

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 blossomed 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

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

Oo my baby loves me
