Verse 1:

I was born in Little Rock
Had a childhood sweetheart
We were always hand in hand

I wore high-top shoes and shirttails
Susie was in pigtails
I knew I'd loved [sic] her even then

You know my papa disapproved it
My mama boo-hoo-hooed it
But I told them time and time again

Don't you know I was made to love her
Build my world all around her, yeah
Hey, hey, hey

Verse 2:

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've made it through the years

I was made to love her
Worship and adore her
Hey, hey, hey

Bridge:

F [N.C.; bass continues throughout]
On through thick and thin
F [N.C.]
Our love just won't end
F [N.C.]
'Cause I love my baby, love my baby
F [N.C.]
Heyyyyyyyyy!

Verse 3:

My baby loves me
My baby needs me
And I know I ain't goin' nowhere

I was knee-high to a chicken
When the love bug bit me
I had the fever with each passing year

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 - aaahhhh!

Verse 4 [partial]:

I was made to love her
Build 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 [fade]
