I was born in Lil' Rock
Had a childhood sweetheart, yeah
We were always hand in hand
I wore hightop shoes and shirt tails
Suzy was in pig tails, yeah
I know I loved her even then
You know my papa disapproved it
My mama boohooed it, yeah
Well, I told them time and time again
"Don't you know that I was made to love her
Build my world around her"
Yeah, hey, hey, hey
She's been my inspiration
Showed appreciation, yeah
For the love I gave her through the years
Like a sweet Magnolia tree
My love blossomed tenderly, yeah, yeah
My life grew sweeter through the years
I know that my baby loves me (my baby loves me)
My baby needs me, yeah (my baby needs me, yeah)
That's why we made it through the years
I was made to love her
Worship and adore her, yeah
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, yeah
And I know I ain't going nowhere
I was knee high to a chicken
When that love bug bit me, yeah
I had the fever with each passing year
Oh, even if the mountain tumbles
If this whole world crumbles, yeah
By her side, I'll still be standing there
Don't you know that I was made to love her
Build my world all around her
Yeah, hey, hey, hey
She's been my inspiration
Showed appreciation, yeah
For the love I gave her through the years
