Hey, oh, hey hey hey
See I was born in Newark (sure was)We were always hand in hand
He wore high top shoes and shirt tales
Nip wore her pigtails
I knew I loved him even then
You know some disapproved it
They even boo-hooed it
But I told them time and time and time againYou know I was made to love him
Build my world around him and
Hey, hey, hey
He's been my inspiration
Sho' nuff appreciation
For the love I gave him through the yearsLike a sweet magnolia tree
My love blossomed tenderly
My love grew sweeter through the yearsI know my baby loves me
My baby needs me
That's why we made it through the yearsI was made to love him
Worship and adore him, yes say
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, oh LordAll through thick and thin
Our love just won't end
But I love my baby, love my baby, ohMy baby loves me
My baby needs me
I know I ain't going nowhere
I was just a little thing
The love bug hit me
I had the fever with each passing yearIf all should tumble
And the whole world crumble
By his side I'll still be standing, yeah'Cause I was made to love him
Made meant for him, say
Hey, hey, hey
I was made to love him
Build my world all around him say
Hey, hey, heyI love my baby
Nip ain't' going nowhere
Say hey, hey, hey
